John Gondolf Poet Sonnet

A Mockingbird's Serenade

Sometimes when hearts are separated by
a distance cast upon them by life’s fate,
their words sing out across the azure sky
like distant songbirds looking for a mate.

And like these birds that sing love from afar,
I send to you my thoughts along the breeze;
poetic thoughts that shine like ev’ning star,
and whisper lilts of love through forest trees.

The poetry of love wraps round my heart
as thoughts of you waft softly through my mind,
and form poetic words, love to impart,
like songs of birds for mate they hope to find.

And like the serenade of mockingbirds,
forever I will woo you with my words.
