Author's Notes:

Thanks to Kumy for giving this a read! And thanks to Gina/Gmariam for making a great catch in her review and suggesting a change. The penultimate line now ways "new" instead of "more" (and more, and more, and more...), so thanks!

THE SONNET CHALLENGE: He’s Free

Betrayed his true form is by full wax’d moon;
The monster overtakes the poor boy meek.
In vain he searches, answers he does seek,
But sorrows drown him in their vast monsoon.
A butterfly emerging from cocoon?
Not likely, for the future looks so bleak.
And his entreaties? Fruitless, hopeless, weak.
Across a shattered youth his heartache’s strewn.
But saved he was by Albus Dumbledore!
On the horizon rises now some hope:
The clever plan of tunnel, shack, and tree.
He leaves his boyhood, leaves it to find more;
New ways to see the world, new ways to cope.
He’ll live his life caged up no more. He’s free.
