Sonnets: Some think the Greatest Poetry Form
A thread to present sonnets. A poetry form some poets never master and some even fear to try..
Myself, I delight in them and have won many contest placing my sonnet against various other poems in other forms.
Sonnets:
The Deadest Hope In The World
The deadest hope in the world to hold
To be truly youthful when one is old
To race about with eager quickened pace
Innocent smile upon a softened face,
Willing hands to love yet again,
The envy of many jealous, fellow men
A finer vessel sleek, pure and true
Charming lady dancing along with you!
Adorned with steadfast heroic words,
Flying free of earth like the birds,
Wandering into majesty of the clouds
Far away from teeming earthbound crowds
A God sailing alone in the night sky,
Enjoying a blessing, not asking why!
