"If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet, together a sandwich with everything on it..."
-Fun., Roman Candle
18
If we could find within ourselves virtues,
Enough to be that difficult honest;
That honest with ourselves and with each other,
Enough to undertake the writing of sonnets.
For sonnets are pure and true by nature;
Mine tell you how I really feel for you,
And yours could show me how you feel for me,
If you could find within yourself enough honesty.
I wait for the poetic honesty,
To drip like honey down those sweetest lips;
Those lips that I could write a sonnet for,
If just because they sometimes speak your mind.
Now, be honest, be honest and write me
Sonnets of pure and true dear honesty.
