 The daylight breaks anew in soft accord In streaming light across the shadowed dawn A gift that gently feathers, from my Lord It touches gracefully and then is gone. Though shrouded, darkest shadows filter in And rock me clear to my eternal core They push me down, repeatedly, in sin I flounder helplessly forevermore. My weary eyes behold a dawning light I grovel, but I cannot reach from here Please tell me, Lord, do I have any right To beg for mercy sweet with You so near? So powerful is your beseeching call My Lord, my God, you surely are my all. Sonnet assignment from this month's Workshop Forum ~With special *huglets* for Denise Snyder for her private tutoring~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, I am over-awed with the beauty of your sonnet and the accompanying picture. One who can write of such grace, surely must walk in it as well. Loving hugs, Linda |

Marge this sonnet is beautiful. You did excellent on your first one. But of course, everything you do just gets better. Love, Betty |

Thank you ALL so much~ As I told 'em in the Workshop Forum ... Sonnet is not a 'natural' format for me, as I have a tendency to da-DUM to a different-metered drummer~ However, I attempted it ... and with Denise's TREMENDOUS help was able to complete the assignment. STRESS ???? Yeppers, I told ya' I was 'sick' ... but ya' wouldn't listen ... sooooooooo Doc says I now have a valid excuse (notice I didn't say REASON) to revert to my childish antics and RETURN TO THE PLAYGROUND !! Wahooooooooooooooo ! Swings n' things and merry-go-rounds Out on the playing field I can be found~ Singing and swinging twirling 'round with delight DA-duming to my own beat Sifting sand in the box playing with the building blocks~ Having just a little fun cause now I don't hafta count my DA-DUM ! Thanks everyone ... ESPECIALLY YOU, Denise~ *Huglets* from the playground~ Sometimes, I'm surprised they let me into class !!  If you haven't visited the Poetry Workshop Forum .... please do ! We really have fun ..... and learn 'things' to boot !!! *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I sneak in and out of class, Marge, and yes, it seems you all do have a great deal of fun mixed in with the learning! I privately enjoy all the chuckles. As for the assignments? I usually say, "Say what?" and retreat into my comfort zone of thinking in iambic pentameter.  Of course a really neat trick would be to get it from my head onto the paper! |

Marge, this is so beautiful. I love the poem as well as the picture. It is absolutely beautiful. Now, as far as class....I can't seem to do any of the things right since the rictameters, so I think that's why I've been doing this lately..... Singing and swinging twirling 'round with delight DA-duming to my own beat Sifting sand in the box playing with the building blocks~ I do miss the class, though, so I may visit class in June, if they'll let me.

Oh Marge, I knew I was in for something special, well, just because I saw your name. Your visuals are so delightful and your words always uplift my heart. This time you out did yourself. You speak the truth so beautifully. So powerful is your beseeching call My Lord, my God, you surely are my all. Wonderful... Patricia |
