Non-Iambic Sonnet #1 - A Glittering Tragedy

A Glittering Tragedy by Charlie O\'Malley

 

We open on a hot summer night

The stars everly shining

A place to dismiss all fright

A place for True Love\'s pining

 

The word is happy and gay

The sadness is small and little

A crone passes away

The bards are harp on the fiddle

 

A boy cries out to the moon

A pendant shines in the dark

A witch casts a spell of gloom

A ruby cracks, becomes sharp

 

The clock resets tonight

Behold, this awe-some sight
