Shadow sonnet

Alice in Wonderland, Chapter 2, Illustration by John Tenniel


Swimmers of the life; we all are swimmers
Short or long – we give it distant shot
Yearning for the best we better learning
Quote the wisdom we get rated by Klout.

Brave, we ford malignant spots in rave
Catalyst the waters served as catalysts
Surreal mission makes our lives surreal
List the issues, be aware at least.

Swimmers of the life, we dance a shimmy
Ebbs are tracing odds, colliding abs
Crucial in order to save the crew shell
Not to lose yourself in final note.

And giving spark to spoofed end
Hand’s reaching for another hand.

  3. The tide of opinion is hard to swim against but thank heavens for those that are strong enough to do so. It is the final waterfall that worries me.

  5. "Yearning for the best we better learning" Swimming in Life. I enjoy the begnning and ending associations/ sound echoes. Is there a word for this kind of word play?
