Fortune Cookie Sonnet

In one of my creative writing classes we were assigned a free write. To open up a fortune cookie we were given and use the fortune as our prompt. My prompt was "Your loyalties will be rewarded."

Your loyalties will be rewarded

As long as you put in your time

Through all affairs, even the sordid

And your rewards will be sublime

Your sublime reward, however, is a mystery

Wealth? Kinship? Money?

It is not clear to see

However, the gifts you reap shall be sweeter than honey

But...do not let your heart be filled with greed

Appreciate all your possessions

Worry only about what you need

Instead of getting caught up in a lottery obsession

As long as your priorities are sorted

Your loyalties will be rewarded
