Goody Goody
I hope you’re satisfied, you rascal you.
You know it’s what we want,
that everyone gets what they deserve,
if not what we think they deserve.
But who can see what really happens
to the nat who finds his paradise
at the bottom of a wine glass.
He is happy until his wings are soaked,
until, in his nat brain rises panic –
fight or flight – neither of which he can do.
And in his final moments,
he is suspended on the surface,
knowing he will be forever embalmed
in what he desires most.

Love this metaphor.
Thank you.
this goody goody sonnet
is well constructed with
its turn at the 11th line.
I see how too much alcohol
affects
and I really like your expression
of this
Thank you. Inspiration from the poor little bug who flew into my glass.
I was gently reminded that the correct spelling of that bug is gnat. Apologies to all my teacher friends and spelling bee winners. 🐝
