Ghostly Hands

Ghostly hands reached into my very soul In a moment my heart was turned to stone All of my dreams were poured into a hole I was afraid and felt I was alone Then an Angel came and took me away Whisked upward on wings towards heavens gates She saved me even though I didn't pray My heart restored as she removed the weight I was sent back with a radiant smile Once again living in a land of dreams This is the place I must stay for a while My tears now flowing down my face in steams So thankful to be saved from ghostly hands My heart is now my own to command I was inspired to try out this form after reading Nette's poem Cherished

oh, I found your first sonnet. You did great for your first time. Very nicely rhymed and a lovely message with this one, Richard.

... the invisible puppet strings guiding you to where you need to be. This was an excellent first sonnet! My first attempt was "okay"... but I had to completely rewrite it after I realized that none of the syllables matched up (lol). The only person I have found that is able to pull off that well is Douglas Fulghum. They are unorthodox sonnets... but excellent, nonetheless!

Thanks Nette, I looked back through my poems and it appears this is my second one. I completely forgot writing it. Thanks for the inspiration Nette.
