Tell Me A Secret (A sonnet)
I have to tell you something about your friend,
You thought he was such a serious guy so far;
But I met him at a party last weekend,
He made so many jokes after a few drinks at the bar.
I told him that I was your close friend from school,
He laughed saying that he was the only close friend you could have had;
I thought this was a joke which I found quite uncool.
Then he said that you could not take criticism which was sad.
He called me last Sunday morning asking if I was free in the afternoon,
I hesitated as I was not sure why he wanted to meet me again;
He said that he wanted to tell me something about you soon,
At the meeting he showed me a picture of you standing in the rain.
Then he said he lied about you to know how I would react.
He smiled saying rain brought you to him and he was grateful of this fact.
Short & nice sonnet.I felt more story could be told through this poem…had it not been a sonnet..😊☺
@Manika: true. But there are certain limitations in a sonnet as you know ☺
