Good day! Do you like sonnets?

I've written my second sonnet, once again Original to Steemit, in response to Hive account@hopehuggs poetry contest:

"Runaway Rhymes #7 Poetry Contest"

At that link (CLICK above), you can read the rules of the contest in case you might like to enter also.

And, should you care to read my first sonnet, you may do so here:

Good God, Why Me?
by Duncan Cary Palmer

You could have chosen someone far more fit
To champion your honor in debate.
A brilliant scholar, schooled in word and wit,
Whose logic captive minds might liberate.

Perhaps you should have picked an artisan,
Aesthetic sensibilities replete.
His stunning output minds and hearts would win,
His artifacts, a testimony sweet.

Good God, Why me? Why choose this reprobate?
Why bother with a man so deeply flawed?
I feel so weak, so unable of late
My fellow man to turn toward thoughts of God.

But, as you've chosen me, I'll sing your praise
Throughout the universe for endless days.
