[Critique Group 2] re-submitting sonnet for April 18

[Alice Massa]

Hello!Leonard, Abbie, Brad, and Valerie:

Early on Friday morning, I listened to the archived recording of the 
March 21 critique session and was pleased to hear the interesting 
comments.Also, I was surprised to hear about Leonard's 70-gallon 
aquarium, with the talented and observant fish.

As promised, I am re-submitting the following sonnet for the April 18 
critique session so that the time you took last month with critiquing 
the poem will not be wasted.

Especially because I will miss the regular meeting on April 16, due to 
Easter Sunday, I hope I can celebrate National Poetry Month with the 
four of you on the 18th.


      Can you guess which of the four of you inspired this poem, as a 
result of a certain object?


Take care!

Alice

*A Sonneteer's Bucket List*

by Alice Jane-Marie Massa

Alas! The day has come for me to ask:

What can you find in my pale Bucket List?

Do I present for you too hard a task?

Of course, my list has a poetic twist!

Turn to Bedloe's Island for your first clue.

A pedestal was placed and did inspire

A "Colossus," once thought of as so "new"--

verses of which immigrants will not tire.

Oh, you know, Ms. Lazarus holds the lead:

her poem is immortalized on a plaque

for generations of tourists to read.

No pages are needed--take this book back!

I want my poem in granite.Please don't laugh!

My Bucket List comes with my epitaph.
