Rainbow Ribbons

Another Sonnet Forest-rainbow by artist Don-Prioleau.

  Ra i n b o w  R i b b o n s

      Like moments scattered ~ loose pearls on the floor

      catch rainbow ribbons in their shiny glaze.

      Bewitching, sweet, her scent like none before;

      desires move love thru earthy rhythmic days.

      

      As hearts see twilight sooner than appears,

      clear sleepy dewdrops linger on lush leaves;

      as quietly they fall … sad empty tears

      left longing for those times when she believes.

      

      Forever taunted by blind jealousies ...

      alone, she'd wasted of life's precious time;

      now, finding pathways to my memories,

      my love for her will always deeply chime.

      

      Again, I yearn to hold her in my arms …

      ahhh, lost once more in her embracing charms.

                  ---~-~≈·§·≈~-~---

Lisa,

Most magically and romantically enchanting, as well as contempatively meditative over a steaming (erotically steaming?) cup of hot coffee this fine Thor's-day morning here in good ole Smalltown, West Texas where the best Poetry we daily get to see is dust blown to mouth and stuck in teeth ... What an exemplary blessing it is, always of always shall be, to visit your pages set to pen of page, and that from your exquisitely thoughtful heart ...

Good morning dear Marvin,
Yes, each day brings with it new thoughts combined with memories...and with that perhaps a poem is born. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my words. It means a lot to me.

From start to finish there is genuine love, hope and - enduring memories her. These are emotions wrapped in fine writing wrapped in beauty. What a lovely visual too, Lisasview! Take care, keep safe.

Beautiful everyth ing! .

[Lisasview]

Have you read Awaken or Ruby Red Blush yet? I think you might like those....
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

Have already reviewed 'Awaken'. Sometimes read a post, leave it then re.read. Hope OK with you.

[Lisasview]

Yes, I do the same thing... But I usually leave a review and then if I reread it I usually leave a second review.
Of course whatever you decide to do is OK with me..

[emmajoygreen]

We all have idiosyncrasies! (sp?!)

[Lisasview]

For sure ....

[Ken e Bujold]

a very bewitching write here Lisa. quite enchanting. especially like the "sad empty tears" a true poet's metaphor.
hope all is well in spain

[Lisasview]

Hi Ken,
So happy you picked up on one of my metaphors..(I love using metaphors!)
Sad empty tears....
But when I write I never think that it will be a metaphor, or... it just seems to happen.
Thank you for taking the time to read and review my work. Always means alot to me.
Lisa, still in Spain

Beautiful picture and wonderfully sad lines. But, I still catch a glimmer of hope in them, it's what happens when we at least come to a point where we realize we have wasted so much time. Great Job!!

In all my years of writing, I've never attempted to write a sonnet. This must be as good as they get, for it reads beautifully. Thank you for inspiring me, Lisa!

[Lisasview]

Hi Kelly,
So happy to see you reading my words and even happier that I have inspired you... Wow, what a lovely thing to say!!
I have several other Sonnets you might like to read as well.

The scattering and dappling image is quite elevating, much like bubbles floating every which way and those pearls in shampoo that burst with nutrition and conditioning. And equally moving that sad caravan of tears. Sounds like a deep sort of love!

[Lisasview]

Good morning from Chilly Spain,
Yes, you are so right... This is a sort of deep love.
Thank you for always reading and reviewing my words.
Lisa

[Gee]

I wouldn't know a sonnet from an Easter maidens bonnet :)
Although not my cup.of tea, as you know, I appreciate the skill, time and effort that must go into writing pieces in this form and to this level:)

[Lisasview]

Hi Gordon,
Thank you for reading and reviewing my words.. I had to laugh when I read "maidens bonnet"
I so appreciate that although my words are not always your cup of tea that you still take the time to read what I write.
Lisa

[Gee]

Perhaps one day your words will sway me into a change:))

[Lisasview]

Now that is so funny...
It is always good to be ready for change...right...

[Susan 🦋]

A Sonnet! Love it! Your wording and imagery are so lovey... I especially like the very first line.
* Maybe double check this line..
(now, finding paths into my memories,) Iambics are off...Now, finding pathways to my memories...

These Sonnets are tricky!! But you certainly did an outstanding job with this one. love it :-)

[Lisasview]

I am fixing that one and so appreciate that you too the time dearest Susan to see what needed to be corrected. Thank you so so much!!
Lisa, now in Spain

[Lisasview]

Hi Susan,
Going back over all my poems as I am unable to type for long periods of time..because I broke my clavicle... Anyway I came across your review and I want to thank you again for letting me know that my iambics were off... I really appreciate it and if ever you see any issue with my work I would so appreciate your feedback.. I am just learning...

I was left wondering early who "she" is or if "she" was intended as metaphorical or a personification of nature or an actual person. Then, reading "she believes" I was left thinking it must be an actual person. Then, further along, I read that she wasted her life and you are remembering her so I came to the conclusion it was someone dear to you that was lost or deceased. I'm sorry if that is the case. Missing our loved ones is always a difficult burden to bear. Peace and light, F.

[Lisasview]

Hi Fabian,
I must say that I so appreciate your review. Shows me that you actually read my little sonnet.
A mans point of view (which it seems I often write from) regarding the loss of one that he loved..due to her blind jealousies, etc.... Perhaps she is just gone from his life or actually has died..
She was okay for a while because she believed in his love, which was true... but again because of her jealousies she destroyed what they had between them... and, of course he continues to have memories of the times they shared..because he loved here deeply.

Elegant, gentle , but how a poem has strength and structure when the rules of poetry are applied..a lovely sonnet too hard for me but that’s when you appreciate them more.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I am so glad you appreciate my work. Sonnets are not easy.. that is for sure!
