Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Shapeshifter

A drunk killed my child on a binge.

To the devil I sold my soul,

So on drunks I could take revenge.

My hatred for drunk men is whole.

As a beautiful woman, I

Lure the drunk man into my bed,

Then transformation I apply,

Clawing the victim till he's dead.

A giant owl I turn into,

With talons sharper than a knife.

There is nothing the drunk can do

But watch me cut away his life.

With each victim corpse I then deal,

By consuming it as a meal.

 The Nature I Know

At times I've heard passersby tell

Of pleasure in the pathless woods.

There's nothing like that where I dwell

Here in these busy neighborhoods.

A rapture on the lonely shore,

I hear talk of, but still late night,

Lake Michigan's music may roar,

But always some folks in my sight.

The nature that I know does be

So ever mixed with humankind,

So to exist, instinctively,

I must make do with what I find.

The city life in Chicago

Is all this coyote will know.

 Unnegative

Into a big sinkhole it fell,

The U.S. Capitol with all

The Congress people. Gone to hell?

It was bipartisan downfall.

Rescue efforts to no avail,

A swamp the sinkhole fast became.

And draining it of course did fail,

With finger pointing who to blame.

Public opinion went from shock

To maybe for the best indeed.

Cool quiet where had been hot talk.

Leave the space as is was agreed.

Unhotaired Washington, D.C.,

As underground unCongress be.

 Cherry Blossoms Place and Time

We met under the cherry tree

In spring when cherry blossoms were

Abloom in pink and white, and we

Let the romance of them occur.

Each day at lunch time we would meet,

Brown bagging from offices near.

And under the blossoms we'd eat

For an hour to share so dear.

Days turned into a week then two,

And with each day the blossoms would

Fall more and more as blossoms do,

The time and place for us so good.

When the cherry blossoms were gone,

We two decided to move on.
