My Metric Sonnet ... ABCD ... EFGD ... HIJD ... JKLD ... MD

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Smokestack faces

fill the sky

with one eye

facing east

Backdoor ravens

flap their wings

with a message

that never ceased

Lean-to ladies

shake their hips

holding court

for the feast

Ding-dong do-gooders

never know

which ones

need them least

But that's not true 
for the presiding priest
