Sonnet - 42 Poem by Xavier Mandreza

Those Citadels bricked by the Pride of Men
Can shrink into Glory by Humble Appeal
Such Method betakes by Forged Labours then -
As Proud my Songs your Nature's Stock Reveal
The Diver at that - Glorified to Art,
Ideal which some Freshest Athletes prove
And yes possible would Revive your Part
That once Bettered Glory shave Exploit to Love
These Arrows then - If Blunted yet to Prick
Transpose Harmful May into Seedful June
Where weighs the Heart to Believe by the Mick
And Fill all Saturdays best into Noon.
That Smile still where Faith brings Joy to your Fore
Cast the Merit-Spells your Somersaults adore.
