Sonnet #3
"The Begetting"


		Setting sun, marking the day's end;
		 Then begins the planning of sins. 
		 Messages of love, 
		 the temptress sends. 
		 The begetting of lust, 
		 a seed sinks in. 
		 Subtle enticement 
		 dancing at night. 
		 The budding flowers, 
		 a fanciful sight. 
		 Moonlight romancing, 
		 the fair of skin. 
		 The fertile bedding, a chance gust of wind. 
		 Stretching the truth, bending the rules.
		 Twisted facts, warping reason. 
		 Manipulation, flattery fools. 
		 Simple tactics of seduction. 
		  Trusting youths mate in season, unschooled. 
		  Man, from boy, through woman, to son.
