Example Poem:

Mary Sullivan Boren (Kindergarten Klas Sonnet)

No poet here has helped advance my skill

(of sorts), than Mary, known as MeterMaid.

No pretention resides within my friend

but wit and talent join insight to thrill.

She's self-appraising, able, not afraid

to re-invent herself and put an end

to stagnant comforts even when the pill

is bitter. Growth, she knew was worth the trade.

Experience ladled into brain, sautéed

with humility, wrought a gal who will,

if asked, dissemble words with which you've made

your poem belch, or in some way offend.

Aside from help in meter at her place,

Her writings exercise my aging face.
