Whispers in the Trees....

Enjoyed writing this new English Sonnet.

          

Whispers in the Trees....

Sweet yearning whispers through night's silken haze ...

rememb'ring times spent full of bliss with you.  

Tears glimmering like brightest stars ablaze,

our knowing someday we will start anew.

No others' kisses ever need replace …

those luscious moments waited for are few;

ne'er thinking to forget your perfect face,

as rivers surely pass ~ I am still true.

Life's empty when you are so far away;

sun's lingering is warm, but never bright.

No scent from flowers, time turns dull 'n grey ...

my true love's missed throughout each sad-filled night.

Warm breezes waken wishful memories;

a tender heart hears whispers in the trees.

Author's Note

"Thanks go out to Richard for his tireless patience and dedication in teaching me the English Sonnet form, and the beautiful poetic language of Iambics." I am so very proud of this milestone accomplishment, the challenge that many of you might truly understand.

'Life's empty when you are so far away;
sun's lingering is warm, but never bright.
No scent from flowers, time turns dull 'n grey ...
my true love's missed throughout each sad-filled night.'

that chosen quote from a wonderful piece of writing, yes, a sonnet, is more than visual, more than moving. Suxh love remains, come what may - forever.

So sorry to be late in responding to your lovely review of my work. I am still dealing with my broken clavicle so I am not on my computer as much as I would like to be.

I have found the sonnet to be for me the most difficult of forms to write. That you have done so successfully should make you feel good about yourself.

Yes, you are correct Sonnets are difficult to write. This one seemed to take forever.
Thank you for reading and reviewing my Sonnet.
