    Default 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!
