Even I can write a lovely sonnet:
The words seem just to pour from pen to page.
Hardly a bit of mental toil or sweat;
Inadequacy, my fear, I thus assuage.

Can a carrot wear high heels without getting hurt?

If Pluto really wanted to be a planet, would you be on their side?

appreciate the grey snow

driven on, sledded over

run down by life

having been lived in it

it's a good thing

I saw a rabbit cross the street

Looked both ways and ran so fleet

A car horn honked and caused it stress

But it kept going nonetheless

I saw some flowers in the night

Blossoms craning for the light

It seemed a streetlight was enough

To keep them firmly standing up

Everywhere there's bravery

I trust there's some still left for me

A flight too straight, a twist of wing
Humans are more obvious
The storm-laced face or the clenched fist
On balance, it is just as well
When a butterfly's happy, who can tell?

I got nothing
is what they said
but doesn't everybody
have something?

Can it be
that one has nothing
when possibilities
abound in this world?

Seven hundred ten

Seven hundred eleven
