Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Loss and Gain

My true love in the street was struck

And killed in a bad accident.

She was hit by a bakery truck.

When I heard, off to her I went,

Following bread crumbs down the street,

Until at last I came to her,

My saddest journey to complete.

I would miss my true love for sure.

There soon came animal control,

And shortly after she was gone.

But then I found another goal,

Bread crumbs, this pigeon did move on.

Life's ups and downs never ceases.

I'm still pecking up the pieces.
