Alone I sit in contemplation,
reading words as yet unwritten,
In my hands blank manuscript,
spewing forth tales sorrow bitten.
Reciting legends of man's folly,
as I seek night's port quiescent,
Amid dark depths of melancholy,
'mid howling chorus; screams incessant.
Marchens tell of dark's affright,
in somber stealth of evening's creeping,
Luna cloaked, face unrevealed,
harbinger of angel's weeping.
Upon the night fall tales unspoken,
Sorrows lance a soul now broken.

I said it before and say it again: a Sonneteer you are!

Tim,
this was amazing rhythm, as I always say we poets know how to use the rhythm method to conceive perfection.
