By the way, I meant that as a comment for the poem, not a response to the other comments.

Amen.

Marly, I’m now posthumous! It’s very liberating.

Peg: Wow! Talk about a killer poem! That sonnet rocks! Just the net to snare the naughty beast.

I shook out my skirts
and reached for my gun,
aiming to halt
your rogue poem’s run –

but what have we here?
My rifle now a net?
And hooves become wings,
your words wilder yet –

o, I will catch you,
seeking redress
for all the blood
your poem’s press

and thrust upon my sheets so unkindly left:
Where is the vow that could ransom such a theft?

O great word-rollicker: so glad you took off the Donnian winding sheet imprinted with tiny robots and rose to the occasion!
