note: This is a sonnet form I invented years ago -- Daniel named it the  "Progressive Sonnet."  See if you can figure out what the basic rule of this form is.  (Daniel gives a full explanation of it in the link below my poem.

Endings Begin - Progressive Sonnet

As death begins
by accident;
blessings and sins 
unrepentant

Some repent, you realize
in case there’s a reward;
must be done ‘fore demise
‘cause time will cut the cord.

I’ve cordon off the years gone by
as if I’m due so much more time
to right the ship and then thereby
become the mariner of the rime.

Our words and deeds will surely mend or rend 
how I’ll be written as life meets its end.
