A Words Worth

I recite and read aloud, wander, lonely as a cloud, then emulate and create as memory stimulates; Swim against poetry's tide therein,an enigma hide, perhaps,a step too far,with Tennyson,crossing the bar; I dream on Will's sonnet verse, figuratively,sweet and terse, lazing life away,with songs compared to a summer's day. To conjure an opening line ever,remembered,as mine.

Wordsworth and Tennyson were two of the most impressive writers, Brian. And your couplet sums up the desire most authors have to be remembered. Very nice sonnet! Best wishes, Carolyn
