She hearkens to entreaty for romance. Through shroud of gossamer her vision all, Yet cleaves to solitary circumstance From chambered turret staves off suitors' call. En masse attending her as thurifers, All gentry of the kingdom meed her praise Like strutting peacocks proudly chanting verse; Beseeching Damsal's hand for future days. Whilst she seeks sanctity in dream's repose, Entranced withal by heart of noble knight - Seclusion her behest of self impose, Still reaping vantage from the castle's height. Though maiden's vow she shan't be led askance, She hearkens to entreaty for romance. She hearkens to entreaty for romance; Fair Damsal hast naught heart in cast of stone, But waits for knight's return with sprightly lance. Bereft of noble sire she dwells alone. This gallant knight holds heart of maiden fair. His quest grand kingdom's enemy to quell 'Til his return her troth unto her laird In sooth fidelity till solemn knell. Fair Damsal waivers not from staid avow 'Tis said by day she tats a lover's cloak Erstwhile complete take suitor to her brow But with each nightfall untwines daily stroke Beveiled Damsal from wistful turret stance, She hearkens to entreaty for romance. She hearkens to entreaty for romance, In waiting for her gallant knight's return "At one with sword" 'pon mighty steed aprance, Thence magic'ly dispel her pendent yearn. Enraptured with fair maiden's pulchritude, Professing love whilst kingdom's suitors pine; His lance held high to quash incertitude, Grand chivalry matched underlings' combine Though visaged war hath pillaged noble flesh, Beloved knight in face of swain disguise, With Fair Damsal beseeches life's refresh. Pure adoration in reflective eyes. She'll only then submit to love's entrance. She hearkens to entreaty for romance. |

Welcome to Passions, fair Damsel! These are goodly sonnets, 'tis true. As a recent convert to the form, I say well done. Sing while you may -The Prophet Qa'sepel Your pain is for you alone, As it is, As it was, As it will be forever, Amen -The Prophet Qa'sepel |

May I give unto thee Damsal of Romance a bow such as befits a Lady of thy high standing. . . *bows* Now then my Lady, thou hast indeed penned a beautiful song for the entreaty of Romance, which is a song that I too have sung for many moons. . . I wish that thou wouldst find the Romance that thou seekest. . . and that thy Knight shall indeed find thee by the lyrics of thy song. . . Welcome again fair Lady. . . *bows* ---------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Excellent writing! you write like you know something about how to do it right... lol... very structured, full of romance and great imagery... you've pulled me in.... the sonnet structure is perfect, btw... and... Welcome to Passions!! Enjoy your stay... you might want to consider posting in one of the workshops... if you can write sonnets like this, i suspect you can also write other formal types of poetry and i'd really like to read more!!!  |
