I've never written a sonnet before but my crush at AWP had me writing a quadruple one. This poem's really a love poem to poets and also to life-giving temporary crushes. Thank you @publishedbyjake.bsky.social for publishing this one! <3

A caucasian male-presenting person with a full grey beard and a long, curly red mullet wears a red, crew-neck sweatshirt and fills the left half of the frame. Filling the right frame, is a female-presenting, caucasian woman wearing her dark brown and gray hair in a bun, a light gray denim jacket with the collar popped. She leans in to the man and her right hand, nails painted red, lingers on his left shoulder. She wears red lipstick. They are both smiling.
