A Work In Progress (Sonnet for Charlotte)

.


A Work In Progress (Sonnet for Charlotte)



I think I like someone. What should I do?

Agnizing, her bearing has caught off guard.

Pause, reflect... enough data to review;

A simple survey... why make this so hard?



First steps are subtle, to shared envisions,

Endowing part of a sudden, not all...

How does one weigh in random provisions,

When sample sizes, in hand, are so small?



Knowing, emotion is driving this team,

Running rampant from cause to consequence;

If my first impressions are as they seem,

Nothing more is required here, to convince.



Count me, all in; nothing more to address;

She is far more than a work in progress.



Michael Todd  (2013)



NOTE: I got the idea for this poem from Charlotte Blackwell.
