Conflicting Plans

Sonnet in tetrameter

 

 

 

Conflicting Plans

 

She means to fulfil her desire

and choose the strongest for a sire.

To give her offspring the finest chance.

She isn’t seeking for romance. 

She dreams of a rich handsome male

 she’s confident she will not fail

 in capturing his interest

and means to put it to the test.

But fate has other plans in mind

and she will find that love is blind.

When she is shot by Cupids bow

 her girlish dreams will fade and go.

 She will accept without demur

 the man that fate selects for her.

The best rhyming poems are those that you don't notice its rhyming until you're finish reading it. This is in my own basis opinion. Most rhymes are forced and disrupt the flow of the poem being read. Not the case, in this poem about the best laid plans are quickly changed when chance/fate intervines in our lives. How soon, we forget this important lesson in our lives. Thank you for sharing this poem with us.

Cool! All of it rhymes! It flows by very easily. The content is pretty much true. You can't always expect to get what you wanted, it's all up to fate.
