The Good Dream

I’m writing this enormous poem now,
So sometimes sonnets won’t get posted here.
I know you’ll miss them, maybe raise a brow
In quizzical disdain, or rabid fear.
Well, maybe fear’s a word that’s too extreme,
And maybe sonnets aren’t all quite divine.
That people need a fix is just my dream,
But it’s a good dream, and it’s mine. All mine,
And only mine, apparently. I fret,
But am resigned; there’s still gin in my cup.
I worry that my readers will forget
To check in here if new delights aren’t up.
Sometimes, something will still occur to me
That needs the sonnet form. Come here and see.
