Passage Into Antiquity: a sonnet

[cc springer]

While on a sojourn into the mountains
I came across an old abandoned car
With windows broken and doors on the ground
Red rust covered its body like a scar

How the car got there I will never know
Maybe while on a drive the car just died
Or was left by someone who once lived here
Or had been driven by Bonnie and Clyde

I committed this spot to memory
thinking that I might return here some time
I'd tow this car from its predicament
And return it to its former prime

Then noticed a skunk made the car a home
And thought I'd be best to leave it alone.

I love it. I looked up sonnet and it sure has a lot of rules and a few strange words that I have to look up.

Hi Brainwreck. Thank you. I am learning and was my first attempt to write one and it didn't qualify under all the rules. I'll keep trying.

Whether or not Shakespeare would approve, I like the sonnet posted here and would not see it removed. Certainly, you made the correct decision in leaving the skunk to his home position. Thanks for sharing cc.

Mhenry... you made me laugh. Thank you for your comments.
