This fourteen-lined form of poetry made popular by William Shakespeare ends in a
couplet.
UNAWARE
by Kaitlyn Guenther
Isolation quickly overwhelms me
Begging for forgiveness, a fallen hand
Desolation I now begin to see
Hanging by a thin thread, a single strand
I watch them… Their fears, their misbehaviour
Mistreat, abuse…. Completely unaware
I am the land, their glorious saviour
Someday they will learn to treat me with care
I wish they would learn to trust each other
To join as one, to stand strong together
A bond, a band and a mighty brother
Forever as one, a powerful tether
You may not know, that fear is their captor
So you may not see each special factor

Unicycle, unicycle,
radiant and round.
Spying you, you spoke to me
without a single sound.
Unicycle, unicycle,
beautiful and kind,
like the petals on a flower
wheeling through my mind.
Unicycle, unicycle,
you're my one desire.
Losing you would break my heart.
Of you I'll never tire.
Unicycle, unicycle
always by my side.
That's, of course, because you are
impossible to ride.
