Hail

Hail, hail, fair prince from my broken dreams

I have long been waiting to see your face

Do not despair, all is not as it seems

Destiny has taken you to this place

Look upon me, do you not remember?

Oh, how I promised myself I wouldn't cry...

The smiles, the laughter of a lost September

Fleeting memories that have passed us by

What has happened here?  To us?  To this land

Time has swallowed up everything whole

But alas, that aside; come, take my hand

I won't let you accept this fate alone

Side by side, heart by heart, we stand this night

We face our fear, the demons of black light.

Sonnets. Love 'em.<3 This one has a fantasy touch. Hope you all like it. (This may or may not be inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

Now see... this is the way a woman should speak...if they are wishing to woo the heart of a poet...sigh... An awesome flow of ink you crafted here. It is penned with a smooth tempo and reads with a time tested elegance that makes it memorable.

Fantastic Poetic Skill!

A strong and direct poem. I like the many questions raised by the poem.
"What has happened here? To us? To this land
Time has swallowed up everything whole"
A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

That's probably the weirdest source of inspiration I've ever heard of.. But I love it! Ahaha the Legend of Zelda. :) Got to love that game~

You inspired me to write a sonnet! Hopefully, I can get one done somewhere today. I liked this. :) It was written very nicely. As I'm not really familiar with writing sonnets, I can't offer much criticism. I hope I can in the future. :]

Great job!

A very nicely written piece you created here. :) I enjoyed the flow, you could feel her taking breaths as each line formed and is spoken. :)

O the hail. It's such fun and really scary too when it thunders on the roof. I like the words you wrote.

[Tina Kline]

Very nicely done. A well written poem, romantic with some darkness to overcome. He can prove himself to her. A very enjoyable read.
