Secret Handshakes Are the Best!
An italian sonnet I wrote for Freshman Studies:

Alison Boguski
Sitting here on the shelf for all to see
The sinful smile of Devious Sister
Is made blunt by the love of Kind Brother.
An unbreakable bond, grown like a seed
Constructed these years very carefully.
Fragile Sister hopes that he will miss her.
Delicate droplets down pink cheeks help cure
Pain similar to the sting of a bee.
And though I may travel to distant lands
The thought of him remains clear as the sky.
I sit paralyzed, forgetting my plans.
My devious smile slides into a sigh.
I clutch this memory in my clammy hands
Kept safe until I die, until I die...
