Along The Way(Rich's Sonnet)
by Richard Reed Jr
copyright 04-17-2008


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
This inn where once I stopped along the way
To quench my thirst with ale and raunchy jokes
To tell tall stories share each other's smokes
And with the dice and cards we all would play
Each night when we walked home from Chumley's mine
Stopped by Wayside Inn to have our sport
We thought this well our one and due resort
The sun upon our lives would never shine
This inn where once I stopped along the way
I skirt as I walk home with no delay
The yoked was she who waited day by day
Left alone at home no one to care
she never did receive one third her share
And left the earth with no more than a prayer

I had to read this several times--which is a tribute to your talents and skills, not for meaning, necessarily, but because it sounded hauntingly familiar. Then I recognized the title as being one that I had used on one of my works and was making a comparison between the two. Not a good thing for me to do. Does something like sets up expectations that can not or will not be met.

This work speaks to the subtleties of a miner's life and that which is valued, left at home. But more, I think it speaks to each one of us and reminds us of what we all may have left, ignored, that was truly more valuable than the final, however much needed, stop along the way.....

I had to read this a couple times over before the meaning sank in, but I liked it nevertheless. The "she" in the second to last line should be capitalized, unless you meant to draw attention to it.

Creativity and voice working the street, a warm concept played well in structure and continued movement, a play in thought and structure, easily I was caught in my own thoughts and references made and used. Enjoyed a great deal.. Walt
