Sonnet For Balladeer  Let the waves of his artistry resound through hourglass sands of poetic retreat 'tis a divine breath of treasure that's found in storyteller of gifted elite He is the man with rare golden finger one that leads the soul through introspection to swing on his sage branches which linger that he is a painter of perfection Let not the tides of time erase his voice nor lessen the mighty sword of his quill that our eyes and mind shall sail in rejoice to find love and verity in his spill The beauty of his sea fills hearts with tear awestruck in the wisdom of Balladeer By Melissa P. Monette ~ This is the first English/Shakespearean sonnet that I have written and I hope that it is up to par. And, thank you so much my dear 'Deer for your friendship and for guiding me in the right direction of poetry ~ [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (02-06-2002 01:15 AM).] |

Well, it's official I'm addicted to sonnets now, even though this is only my first Thank you so much to all who replied, I'm so glad that I was able to actually write a sonnet in correct form. And yes, Michael is one heck of an inspiration! It's only because of his teachings and patience that I understand proper use of meter and flow. So thank you once again cutie patootie And thanks to all who have supported me over the years~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
