Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Diary

"Memory is the diary that"

"We all carry about with us,"

Said Oscar Wilde, so clever at

Making a point without surplus.

Oscar kept a diary indeed,

And liked to have it close at hand,

Ever sensational to read,

Which is something I understand.

I tend to fill my diary with

Happenings from my point of view,

Containing less truth and more myth

Of great matters I think and do.

Older I get, my memory

Is more like a misplaced diary.
