Harrisham Sonnet: "The Goal is to Write Right"

Whenever days of writing's hardest pressed,
remember that the faithful win at end.
Respect the Author of each daily test.
Tomorrow is blank slate we'll newly tend.
We writer's stay the course by rules we've stressed.
encompassed by artistic words we blend.

To follow grammar rules like house we build
ostensibly will make foundation strong.
Your hopes of growth by boards and struts are filled
enlivened by the art of words, your song.
Don't break a rule unless your strength is skilled
to blaze the canvas bringing joyful throng.

Attend your heart with hopeful, joyous mirth.
Determine best is always what you're worth.
