Sonnet 27

Sonnet 27

Again it's morn, and so begins my day
With this one thought: to soothe my woman’s need
With most-assuring words, meant to convey
Unswerving hope. I will perform this deed
As someone who consents to sing of love,
Yet in my bittersweet and wistful way;
Our rose-strewn paths, with cupids once above,
Succumbed to thorns, fell into disarray.
I wonder now, my sad-eyed, doubting one:
Will fairies grant that wish upon a star
And help us grasp what we had fairly won?
Take heart; oft Love may be delayed and far,
But not reduced. Love stands on firmest ground
With branches spread, and always to be found.

Such a neat and well done Sonnet Jerry, every line with deep and flowing sincerity.I think chivalrous and gallant describe it best, a touch of the old masters bring out it's charm...Smooth as fine silk..Tangie..

Thank you for commenting, Tangie;
I like to forget about contemporary poetry styles and transport myself back in time to those glorious days of Troubadours and Camelot. I sure am glad you like this sonnet. "Guenevere" likes it, too. Thanks again,
Jerry

A wonderful reminder for me now to turn on the old charm machine, and rally my lady from her smartphone isolation and general funk Jerry. Now where did I leave that gizmo anyway?
An exquisite poem that deserves a second and third read. Thanks for sharing your words of wisdom my friend, and cheers! - Dan

Dan,

Tangie,
thank you for your return to this sonnet; You know, I don't usually look for recognition of my work, but now I'm deeply honored--even humbled. Thank you again, dear Tangy, and all my friends on this site.

A delightful sonnet, conveying love by offering hope to the woman of his heart. It reminded me of how I felt when Paul walked into the kitchen with a handful of garden roses for me. I may be widowed but I can feel the joy of those moments. Congratulations on the TPS Spotlight. It is never to late for the expressions of love.

Thank you for the wonderful comment, Josie; I'm sorry for your loss, that of your husband. I just lost a friend and feel the emptiness in my heart. Be well,
Jerry
