Nice semi coincidence
 

The blog "Form in Formless Times" asked to publish this sonnet from my 2008 Chapbook "Aquinas Flinched". It appears on what happens to be an auspicious occasion (I had posted it on Facebook honoring the occasion earlier in the week). Thanks to editor Robin Helweg-Larsen, who found a great photo to accompany the poem.


NB: Hyphen in semi-coincidence....

Rick, you've written my new favorite Satanic/Santanic sonnet, whatever its original occasion. Warnings against ill-used garden tools are well taken. You are a sonnet master.

What a pleasure to read this. I feel younger than I did a minute ago. The humor is penetrating. The rhyme.
