I went back to a form I once penned quite often, the sonnet, though this is a different variation than I was more apt to pen. This is a couplet sonnet and I do hope you enjoy.
Aurora's Song
O, that I could capture this dappled dawn...
Its waning moments and memories pawned,
Drifting and blending into daylight's hue
Of sun and cloud, shadings on canvas blue.
And here I am with naught but bristled pen,
Its ink of thought, song of morn, caught within
Time's parchment sheets, each longing to compose
Delicate lines of rhyme or portraits' prose...
For it is not with stroke of brush I paint
But with sweet words of muse both bold and quaint
That flow from heart and seep from soul to be
My aurora and the music I see.
Each sigh and whisper, every breath that's drawn...
O, that I could capture this dappled dawn.
And so the sonneteer struts her stuff again...lol...and what a strut it is!
This piece is amazingly beautiful, my friend...both in form and in substance. Like so many of your pieces, it leaves me in awe...the textures, vivid imagery and colors. The powers that be truly have given you sight far beyond the norm. Outstanding work here mia amiko.
Myrna,
this has 'the touch', that delicate, sensuous living art the reader can feel and identify with. Inspired word choice and the right precision of phrasing make this poem memorable and beautiful.
