Paul Callus Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Ambrosia : Hexsonnetta

Beside the gurgling stream
I sit upon the grass
and watch the shards of glass
(reflected rays that gleam)
alone, as I daydream 
below the clouds that pass.

Away from urban din
it’s peaceful all around
except for nature’s sound
that flows along akin
to music soft within
where strings of joy are found.

My senses taste with greed
and on ambrosia feed.
