Crafted into more: a word-list sonnet

By Robert Stone
If you have seen an eight-limbed human freak,
warped cyborg now with octopus outreach,
most likely once cajoled more strength to seek,
remember that rebounds may reasons breach.

If you have scratched and washed the blood away,
as human floating lost in ketamine
was crafted into more than human clay,
recall results are never well foreseen.

If you have longed for spicy tales of woe,
indicative of confrontations strange,
seek chancing interactions that will show
grim hazards not of death but those of change.

If you must grapple with your enemy,
attack what is most like yourself to be.


~ Robert Stone, 14 November 2021
A word-list sonnet for Poetry In the Boro, Murfreesboro, words chosen at the previous meeting: spicy - octopus - cyborg - indicative - warp - ketamine - rebound - wash - cajole - scratch
