Sense Sonnet - Acher

Over and Out

I'm a candle that's been around

For quite a while shedding some light.

But now to burn down I be bound,

And should happen sometime tonight.

Off and on lit in this household

When electricity went out.

The humans happy then to hold

A candle so to see no doubt.

But soon I'll have to say goodbye.

All in all I have served my best.

So when my wick does burn out, I

Wax poetically at rest.

No rest for the wicked I guess,

But rest for the unwicked, yes!
