Sonnet

PLEA BITE
The plea condensed into a form absconds
Tough kisses cool that bite instead of soothe
And water lilies more appropriate for ponds
The surface glistens sparkling as it moves
A blue lit cloud my thought invoke, surround,
Is ruining dead religion such a sin
Surprising myth an open door propound
Belief began inside a seed within.
Take red ripe bite into an apple hot
And softly hug your dreams but don't bestow
Before consider what you have begot
The frog, warts and all, we cut long ago.
Then say enough begin wih sharpened tools
Important thoughts not need observe just rules.
