Mandolin's Melody

I'll play thee a sonnet with mandolin

    softly massage your brow of sad sorrow

absorb anguish so that joy may begin

 bringing bright new light into each 'morrow

 

I'll sing thee mandolin's melody

  sweetest songs of love, each note to behold

chasing gray clouds away, too far to see

 kiss thy lips warm, when winter's breath breathes cold

O' hear my love song enchanting this day

  with poetry's whispered words to thy ear

 of summer's breeze and lavender's bouquet

sunshine and laughter our hearts may endear

          I'll play thee a sonnet meant for just you

                         mandolin's melody with love so true

I love the word crafting in the first line, introducing your well-crafted sonnet as a musical creation (which it very much is) . . . you're SHOWING as well as TELLING this combo idea between writing & making music. I appreciate that your gently elevated language is still clear & easy to follow, not using convoluted language like some sonnets do. Good word choices add much imagery thru-out.

The way it flows makes everything smooth and relaxed. I enjoyed reading this sonnet because it made me feel at ease. My favorite thing about this writing is how things are described and you can feel and hear the melody within the lines.

This is beautiful, I can just imagine the speaker/player of the mandolin playing gracefully to its music. I love this.
