There in the nighttime sky I behold a little lonely star Where my thoughts of love reside Held aloft and brighter by far Ever the steady guiding light For a traveler through the storm How can something in the cold of night Be so distant, yet ever so warm No jewels upon Earth can measure Nor even be held in any compare For God so values this treasure Her light in Heaven He will forever bear Such a beautiful little star in the envious sky I shield her radiance from my undeserving eyes |

JML...this is a lovely poem, but it does not meet the strict guidelines of a sonnet. A sonnet is 14 lines of iambic pentameter with 5 feet (one unstressed/one stressed beat) per line. Perhaps just not call it a sonnet. Otherwise, nicely written  [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 01-24-2000).] |
