About This Poem

A Tribute to Wiliam Wordsworth


I am in great need of this poets word!
They spill softly, gently, from trembling lips
A sweet melody, like morning song-bird
Carried along on a shadows eclipse 
To lighted windows that glisten with gold
They enter, then petals open and bloom
In the stillness of time, they warm the cold
Images fill my mind, fragrance my room!

The poets words reach the inner corners,
Of a once closed mind, as they so deserve
Bringing solace to past troubled waters!
Held forever to cherish and preserve
Amongst dreams of angels, I strive to keep
Your words held tightly, in the arms of sleep!

    William Wordsworth is my favorite poet .I love his work and always get inspired by his poetry....You have written a wonderful and fitting tribute, David!A stunningly beautiful Italian Sonnet!

    Oh my David, this poem is exemplary and so very impressive! Straight into favorites. More than a poem, a Masterpiece! Especially the lovely way you ended this. As in Wordsworth's poem "She was a Phantom of Delight" 'A Being breathing thoughtful breath, A Traveler between life and death'. How you capture his essence! I loved it. You are a talent to be reckoned with.

    I'm a great fan of the sonnet, and this is delightful and with some easy seamless trochaic substitution so well sewn in too, i particularly liked the 'corners/waters' half rhyme in your peripeteia...makes an excellent development for reading through to the finale...grand stuff...m
