Familiarity breeds contempt.

sonnet in tetrameter

 

Familiarity breeds contempt.

 

The psychedelic neon signs.

A visual insanity.

Create intricate designs

 that linger momentarily.

 

They are designed to catch the eye

 which they did successfully.

Illuminating passers by

 in garish colours constantly.

 

We can ignore them easily.

They have become familiar.

part of our past history.

We have become particular.

 

Their garish colours are a bore

 they don’t intrigue us any more.
