color swatch - (thing)sonnet

Form: (thing)sonnet

thingsonnet where the ends of lines are rhymes of pairs of kinds of things [green with envy and pewter candlesticks (color adjective + nouns as adjectives for emotional state); inflexible and used up both descriptors for an analogue] instead of sound rhymes. forget about syllables, I spent all week writing terrible syllable count sonnets and i give up

color swatch    (thing)sonnet

they told me i’d turn green with envy

but i felt more like pewter candlesticks

with wax dripping down, barren, inflexible,

a potential weapon, a cudgel, used up.

my friend says i’ve got decision fatigue

a kind of tiredness from choosing swatches. drained

by trying to make things match, cobbling

our old carpet and screen with a vintage

painting. inspiration arrives through the ten of cups

with a wide rainbow. finally, happiness.     the dozen leprachauns

a leaping led by Seamus who brought us here to this sanctuary

brighten all small fields of color and the saturations blur to bliss.

i know from the twist in my chest we’ve reached perfection;

there are a thousand rays of light coming from inside the prism (of us).
