My Prison Shall Wait |

Asleep atop a lake of misty dreams, I see those sparkling angel eyes of yours. A black enchanting gate is splitting seams of darkened drapes to grave thoughts I abhor. The mystical surrounding casts a light upon your face that steals my breath with ease. A prison waits with dusty floors for nights, of magic such as this, to end their seize. I lay here wrapped in arms of warmth. I stir. I shiver. Drapes of fear encompass me. A humid breeze, it questions actions, slurs. I sink in dreams, and seem to sink in seas. You pull me closer. Shivers halt, abate. I know that prison will always just wait. |

M this is really quite a competent piece of writing. Pretty much perfect IP and even a pretty good volta at end of L9. Altogether a far better sonnet than many I've seen in adult forums. Well done indeed! Now all you have to do is get the content to match the competence of the meter. We really have to work on eradicating those adjectives, and those, arrrg: "Misty dreams" "angel eyes" "enchanting gates" "grave thoughts" "steals of breath" "dusty floors" "arms of warmth" and "sinking dreams" But that's what we're aiming for in the other thread. The hard bit. But don't let my comments about content detract from the fact that you've written a sonnet here which is extremely well executed. The teen forum is lucky to have such writing! Good work. M |
