Laughter is the song that delegates this heart
Humming in the subtle garden glory
Haunting in the never ending story
Laughter paints a picture free of worry

Muses find these happy feet of play depart
Dancing 'round the kettle's fury
Darting 'bout the woodland furry
Muses wish in wholesome scurry

Lasting innocence pervades these days so tart
Float or fleeting goodwill merry
Fanned or found of blossoms fairy
Lasting as intoxicating dreams of cherry

I like the rhyme scheme of this piece...
I had to read it a couple of times to grasp
the vision of it all....but it turned out
just fine....

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this is soooooo breathtaking, sweet friend, I could almost smell the cherry blossoms reading this, they are beginning to bloom all around! (kiss on cheek) May we always hold onto our innocence with joy, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I found this scheme a bit forced, though there are some very good lines in here. Revamped and cut and pasted, I think you might find it will naturally ryhme with a bit more cohesiveness. The first line is a definate keeper, and I would build on that and the first line in the second stanza. Also, adding a couplet will produce a true 14 line sonnet. Nice thoughts here, just need some rounding out. *S*

"Lasting innocence pervades these days so tart

Always pure

Innocence is only thought
From a lonely soul 'tis sought
All Creation lives anew
To rejoice in morning dew.

Come with me and you will see
Only joy when you are free
Let's arise into the air
Apple pies and God are there.

Glowing rainbows paint blue skies
When our souls just realize
Ev'ry thing in God is pure
Don't get caught in man's allure.

Rise and fly into God's sky,
And then, you are always pure.
  
Always pure.

ThisDiamond - laughter is the cure, yet it seems to be so fleeing...

Thank you for your insight as I tried something new and a mood that required a couplet!I enjoy the freedom to express here without the pressure and restriction of form.
Laughter to all. ThisDiamond

Yes when you have to think of djectives before nouns that tends to put a damper on my creative juices too, I like the merriment here!
