Example Poem:
All in the Family (Mabini Sonnet)
I love you dearly, I
will make things right.
Just hold that
premise near your heart my dear
My callow acts are
bound to disappear
as stumbling I
learn; I am most contrite.
Yet certainly we
can't avoid sorrow
by tracing footsteps
into tomorrow.
Ignoring your dad's
not too subtle sleight
will quell the
arguments which such incite.
He calls me Ivory
'cus I'm not black
and Avery's my name;
so cut him slack.
My dad thought
interracial was alright.
Your dad will too
when our first child is born.
The fringe of
bigotry will then be shorn.
It happens. Then the Grandpa's see the light.
