Sonnet

I only wish you were able to tolerate.
A little foolishness from me.
I hope any readers will not berate.
And be forgiving is my plea.

I know my verse is rotten.
But I do my best.
It’s soon to be forgotten.
And barely able to pass the test.

But a bit of creative writing is good.
Even if no one reads it.
It lightens the mood.
And you feel you’ve done your bit.

So I will keep sighing and trying.
And try not to be too trying.

Haiku

Just be tolerant
Of all of my poor efforts
I just do my best
