Another Season

For years, I've watched my seasons come and go Beneath the pines along the River Brine I've drunk my fill of robust summer wine Survived the stinging lonely winds that blow Now once again spring brings her color show Rebirthing beauty by Divine design And even though my days are in decline I'll add her mem'ries to next year's bordeaux The rose inside my heart is in full bloom Amongst forget-me-nots and memories A sign to me that love in me abides Intoxicating me with sweet perfume Another season blown in on a breeze That seem to come and go like changing tides. 3/21/2023 Daniel Turner

Hello Daniel, It must have taken you a bit longer to figure out how to do this poetry form. Yes the meters would take time to learn. You are welcome my friend. /Darlene\

Hello Darlene. Yes and no. It was hard until I learned how. Once you get the meter down, the rest is just like any other rhyme. Thank you for another friendly visit and your support.

Lovely imagery, Daniel. I have not tried the Italian sonnet form as yet. It looks quite interesting. One small note: Line 3 s/b "I've drunk my fill...".

Thank you, Linda. I learned how to write them right here in the soup. Lin Lane and Andrea taught me the basics and the rest is history.I can usually say all I want to say in 14 lines. Great to see you again. It's hot here today.

Hello Daniel. Good Morning. I consider myself to be a better reader than writer thus I can spot poetry a mile away and your entry is very much poetry and poetic with all elements attached. Further, it is one of those entries that must be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. It was an honor turning to your page and entry this morning. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings always. (smile)

You Yankies love boasting that you are done with Winter, just as we "Southerners" are heading into it ! But this one was well written, and I did enjoy it. Just wait til December when we are basking on the beach, enjoying cold tinnies from our Eskys.. and you guys are shoveling snow ! Loved it DT. Well done.

Daniel Turner
Date: 3/22/2023 3:21:00 AM

Thank you, Wendy. This one is not so much about THE seasons as much as it is about MY seasons. You know how it goes. Poets write about what inspires them. The changing seasons is very inspiring. Really, what kind of winter do you Aussies have anyway. 15 degrees C. Have to wear a one piece instead of a bikini. LOL

Gorgeous! The wine references dove-tail beautifully with the theme of this delicate piece. I think this poem displays the beauty of having lived a lot of years, where memories are so many and appreciation of what we yet have is so strong. Wonderful sonnet. I think I have done a few Italian sonnets, I will check and see!

Daniel Turner
