Please sing to me again of rolling hills,
Kentucky fences far as eye can see,
Secluded woodland trails; those tales instill
Within my soul poetic rhapsody.

Please grace me one more time with tenderness
Poured out upon the page from grandma’s heart
The pride, the joy, unending happiness,
The inspiration little ones impart.

Please sing again of unrequited love
Unanswered questions’ heartache hid within,
Of treasured attic moments, mourning dove
And of exotic places you have been.

Create a masterpiece with poet’s pen
Then when you’re done – please do it once again.

Denise

     I have to agree wholeheartedly.  I know you can't see it, but I have given you guys standing ovations and begged for encores with every poem that I have read.  They just keep getting better and better........



Love Ya!

Denise, you caught me so unawares with this beautiful sonnet, as only you can write. I am so overwhelmed with emotion at your remarks in this poem. For this I will write you a poem, as soon as the chaos settles down from this wedding weekend
Thank you ,my dear freind for such kind words.
Love
Liz

Thank you, Serenity, Balladeer, Chris, Rosebud, Tracie, Terry, Elizabeth, Bonnie and Karilea for reading and for your sweet comments! I'm glad you all liked it!

Elizabeth asked me a loooong time ago to write her a sonnet. The thoughts were rolling around in my head for awhile but it all came together, finally, last night!
