Man:Kind

A numerological sonnet by D.L. Phaneuf 1.11.2018

(11 lines, 11 syllables per line, 101 words, AABBCCCDDEE)

All that you see laid out before you (and me),

Is not trickery, no act of forgery.

Rest assured: my efforts I make not lightly.

In this world, men remain who live politely.

You will find my intent is far beyond kind.

From my mind: you’ve only just exposed the rind.

An axe you must grind to get the fruit behind.

With me as your guide (as one in whom you confide),

A path can be lit for that which you have tried.

Despite the creatures whose hearts are much maligned,

I give you fire raging yet quite benign.
