Posted here, with love, this is the actual promised sonnet I composed for Rhymezone. Writing my "bug sonnet" earlier today inspired me to complete this one which I began a couple of days ago. (I've discovered sonnets, like Pringles chips, are quite addictive ... you can't write just one!)
Jubilee
I’ll write a sonnet to myself this day
to sing of great achievements with no shame,
for I have faced great odds and found my way
despite the many obstacles that came.
Adversity once knocked me to the ground
and not just once, but countless times before.
A woman’s destiny has long been found
as “less than” and subservient, not “more.”
But, Woman’s strength is in her will to rise
above denial’s constant hum of doubt.
With sisters by her side, she’ll reach the prize,
then stand together with triumphant shout!
Supporting one another, hand in hand
is how we must proceed across the land.
