Adrift in the darkness, canvas sail gleams, night sky aglow with satiny moonbeams. Calm winds tread over a nonchalant sea the world revolves in perfect harmony. Inside a heart, waves crash upon a shore turbulent weather lasts forever more. A love that once breathed life into her sails was but a flurry, pretender of gales. Treasure lies deep beneath the salty brine. A wounded heart waits to cast off the line. When high tide ebbs at the moons direction, a forgiving heart forgets rejection. Sea will spill upon the shore its treasure in a wealth of love that knows no measure.

Thank you so much, WW. I think the form lends itself best to romance.

Peaches, this is a very lovely sonnet. Probably make an excellent Jimmy Buffet song. Couple more verses and you could retire. LOL Peace dear Peaches:)

I'll get right on it! If the Keys weren't so full of tourists I'd retire there. Thanks, Danny.
