Thawed | Poetry | Sonnet
After all these months, I finally have an inspired counterpart to the sonnet, The Burn. After The Burn was published, a dear friend asked for an answer to it— of sorts. So I scratched my noodle, wadded up a ton of paper, drained 47 ink pens, and came up with not only [Read More]
The Keep of Dreams | Poetry | Sonnet
My dreams often drop me off at interesting places, and this one left me somewhere I need to be… The Keep of Dreams On a Scottish Knoll, somewhere near the coast Where seas were crashing, spraying salty foam Above the plain, where bramble is the host Sat the ruins of a [Read More]
The Burn | Poetry | Sonnet
I turned the burner up a little with this sonnet—okay, a lot. But I also toyed with another concept here and will leave it to you, my faithful fans, to discover it. If you do–drop it in the comments…. You Folks Rock!!! The Burn Hungry fire builds in your [Read More]
The Season of Our Love | Poem | Sonnet
Summer is winding down and I was inspired to write another poem that thrusts the four seasons together with love for another mash-up sonnet… The Season of Our Love Summer wanes like a fading ocean tide Autumn will flood and then forge its retreat Leaving [Read More]
The River’s Mist | Sonnet
My latest poetry submission, this sonnet, was inspired by some very beautiful words I read somewhere. Knowing where I read those words isn’t nearly as important as seeing what I felt because of those words. Inspiration is out there, floating around- all anyone needs [Read More]
Our Freedom | Sonnet
I have had many comments on my sonnets that end up with ‘Who are you writing these for’, or ‘That is one lucky girl’, or ‘She better know what she has in you’. These are written for no one to speak of- they are results of me finding an [Read More]
Missing
Almost all the way back to conventional sonnet crafting for this old dog…. Missing When be those moments of the greatest pain? At what clock ticks does my heart ache and woe? What are those places worry makes great gain? Where lie the avenues of deep sorrow? [Read More]
In the Garden of Florida
This sonnet was written for my darling co-host at EWNN, Sue Reddy-Silverman. She requested it, and I am delivering. Enjoy this Sue… In the Garden of Florida South, in the heat of the peninsula To the very end, a lover wanders Roams the sultry garden of Florida And [Read More]
The Breath of Excaliber
Another…yes…sonnet. I am addicted and there seems to be no turning back. This one goes back to the classic styles and usage of the sonnet- kinda, sorta, maybe… The Breath of Excalibur The search of a lifetime is nigh to close I know the treasure to be [Read More]
1500cc of Love
Working my way back to a more traditional sonnet than Light 2.0 is, but still trying to remain modern in this poetic adventure… 1500cc of Love The ride was nothing short of true greatness A late day sun was full and nurturing The wind gave us waving trees as witness [Read More]
Light 2.0
Metaphorically speaking, a sonnet… Light 2.0 The techs believed all switches went to null They smugly knew all the lights were put out They set the machine down, thinking it was dull Assured they had won, beyond any doubt But somewhere behind circuit boards and wires [Read More]
A Call For You | Poetry | Sonnet
This is my third published sonnet—I have few private ones stashed away—and I have to admit I am becoming quickly addicted. Thank you for the structure lesson… A Call For You Goddamn my heart is lost without your hand Reaching into my throat it calls your [Read More]
