 T'was blackest night as ink on page of white; Reflections seen through but a single flame, By candlelight then sat with quill to write Thoughts far too intimate for worldly claim. Yet nary dreams enscribed, for dawn befell E'er visions' full enlightenment of day. Still heartfelt reverie of mind to tell, And you to hear so many miles away. Warm rays of Sunshine easily withstand Intrinsic trust, time's unencumbrant yield. Life's quest a selfless gift with no demand; True sharing comes with hopes and dreams revealed. I know that you are there, yet here with me And bound forever friends with love that's free  Waft every crest upon your destined sea |

A few words, all I gave you and you brought forth this wonderfully crafted piece. A Shakespearian Sonnet, my favorite, a true delight when done so well. Bill |

Yet nary dreams enscribed, for dawn befell E'er visions' full enlightenment of day. Still heartfelt reverie of mind to tell, And you to hear so many miles away. ================================= Ahhh... the cadence...the meter... the rhyme divine....the harmony when read aloud... the poetic phrasing...the vocabulary and language... Tis such a treat to read your sonnets ... they go down like sweet cream butter  Beautiful write poetess Nan. |

From Lady Elizabeth to Lady in White: A sonnet of love on a silk page of white This is your face in the dawning of light Ink will be srung into phrases of blue To sing of the purity, goodness of you From Lady Elizabeth to the Lady of Sonnets A sonnet of friendship in blackness of ink Inscribed onto parchment, the depths that you think A well of the beautiful, gold mine of ore Your wealth in the depths of the inkwell are more WEll done Well deserved Liz |

My sweet Nan, you know very well that I am still learning to perfect the sonnet, but you have always been so gracious in accepting whatever I offer up. But you must become more strict with this student, my dear, so that I may one day make you very proud of me. As for this? Christmas Confection. And a Keeper... |
