Poetry Contest

Write a poem in a traditional poetic form such as a English Sonnet, or a Haiku, etc
.two rules:
1.  You have to use one of the poetic forms that has been traditionally about a certain kind of subject matter.
2.  the poem can be about anything except about the forms traditional subject matter.

EXAMPLE:
English Sonnets are  traditionally about love.
SO an English Sonnet about changing your oil  would qualify as long as it was not about loving to change your oil

firm strokes belie age
surprised night signs foretelling

The chain on my wrist
Blindfolded waiting in lust

Limericks have five lines and an aabba rhyme scheme, usually containing bawdiness, nonsense and humor. Here is a serious one.

Paris
In Paris the usual peace was shattered'
More than one hundred were slaughtered;
Football fans and diners,
Music lovers ; some minors,
With bullets they were spattered.
