This is an English Sonnet I wrote for Intermediate Poetry Writing Class


Dear Sister,

I can honestly say that you test my
Endurance to tolerate a sibling.
Fourteen years, seemingly is a long time
Without understandings on anything.
I remember our younger days when we
Climbed mountains made of stairs just to let go.
We'd spread our arms when it was windy,
Believing we could fly. Nothing to show.
That was short lived and arguing became
Games we both wanted to win. Our lives
Were made unbearable, it was a shame
Neither of us ever apologized.
I'm glad now we're working through it; truth be,
A better man is what you have made me.

I love you sis,
Eric
