Leslie Alexis - Just Seventeen (Petrachan Sonnet)

Leslie Alexis - Just Seventeen (Petrachan Sonnet)

At seventeen, she closed her heart to all; br refusing ever 'gain to feel the pain br she shut her soul to love - it was the strain br that made it right for her to take the fall. br He was short - handsome - ugly - fat - thin -tall, br He was black - white - MALE: cause of her disdain. br She was his toy, used time and time again for gain - br His! Muffled, none attended to her call... br br Her makeup hid the mascara tinted tears br and penciled smiles were drawn anew each day br Which gave illusion of contentment stored, br But look upon her well and see the years br in cracks defining broken vase of clay; br The net allows her to remain ignored.
