Connor's poem transcript: A Reaper: Sonnet I

O this reaper by my side,
It travels by me day by day,
Not a gesture, not one say
As we both travel far & wide.
On sunny days it slays my foes
Oh so calmly and so shortly,
And on windy days it just goes
Oh so loudly & so sweetly.
And if this reaper were to strike me down
I would be ever so powerless,
For this reaper has worked my brain right round,
For it has charmed my heart, I confess.
With it I spend my own life,
O this reaper by my side.
This poem is a sonnet, a rhyming poem of fourteen lines and a specific stucture...
