Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Family Sadness

He was her favorite son, I know,

And when he joined the army, she

Was very sad to see him go,

And ever much sadder when he

Was killed and his body returned

To her to bury and ask why

His death, a waste for all, she yearned

For him, such thoughts still make her cry.

She cannot let him rest in peace,

And constantly blames herself for

What happened to him. She can't cease

Obsessing on him more and more.

Her favorite son is dead and gone,

But I, her other son, live on.

 Stork Story

When my young son did learn to talk,

Of course a question he did ask,

I knew would come but still a shock,

"Where did I come from?" Thus the task

Of whether or not to tell true

The how and why and where detail.

But much easier task to do,

He got delivered like the mail

By a family loving bird,

The stork brought my bundle of joy,

Request I made and the stork heard,

To bring to me my special boy.

Same cute but false tale for my son,

That for me, Mom and Dad had done.

 First Contact

While I was taking a walk, I

Encountered an E.T. who said

It came in peace. I don't know why,

But it seemed insincere instead.

Then it told me from where it came,

And I began to understand,

Becoming wary of its aim,

Thus refusing to shake its hand.

Using mental telepathy,

An urgent message was relayed

To the proper authority

That it was here, and please send aid.

I'd learned their trust was not of worth,

Any one from the planet Earth.

 Color Clashing Max

We are two puppy dogs who've got

A young human named Max who is

Into wild, weird colors a lot,

But we let him mind his own biz.

Our home is filled with furniture

And furnishings in shapes and hues

That are quite colorful for sure,

That one with good taste would not choose.

And Max himself does like to dress

In fashions that make him look like

A paint factory, we would guess,

That had a big explosion. Yike!

Wild color combos, we don't mind,

Cuz  both of us are color blind.
