Daniel Turner Poet Italian Sonnet

Another Season

For years, I've watched my seasons come and go
Beneath the pines along the River Brine
I've drunk my fill of robust summer wine
Survived the stinging lonely winds that blow

Now once again spring brings her color show
Rebirthing beauty by Divine design
And even though my days are in decline
I'll add her mem'ries to next year's bordeaux

The rose inside my heart is in full bloom
Amongst forget-me-nots and memories
A sign to me that love in me abides
Intoxicating me with sweet perfume
Another season blown in on a breeze
That seem to come and go like changing tides.

Darlene De Beaulieu March 27, 2023 at 10:29 AM Hello Daniel, Is this poetry form easy to do? I like this poem enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene\ Darlene De Beaulieu March 28, 2023 at 3:14 PM Hello Daniel, It must have taken you a bit longer to figure out how to do this poetry form. Yes the meters would take time to learn. You are welcome my friend. /Darlene\ Daniel Turner March 27, 2023 at 10:33 AM Hello Darlene. Yes and no. It was hard until I learned how. Once you get the meter down, the rest is just like any other rhyme. Thank you for another friendly visit and your support.

Jim Slaughter March 26, 2023 at 9:52 AM Lovely imagery, Daniel. I have not tried the Italian sonnet form as yet. It looks quite interesting. One small note: Line 3 s/b "I've drunk my fill...". Daniel Turner March 26, 2023 at 9:58 AM Thank you, Jim. Noted and corrected. I appreciate your kindness, support and compliment you on your grammar:) Be well my my friend.

It's hot here today.

Suzanne Delaney March 22, 2023 at 12:47 PM It flows like a Monet landscape. Spring is the season to rejuvenate out hearts that is true. A great contender.

Lisa Ricci March 22, 2023 at 4:34 AM Hello Daniel. Good Morning. I consider myself to be a better reader than writer thus I can spot poetry a mile away and your entry is very much poetry and poetic with all elements attached. Further, it is one of those entries that must be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. It was an honor turning to your page and entry this morning. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings always. (smile) Daniel Turner March 22, 2023 at 4:57 AM Thank you Lisa. Your review of my work was too kind. I appreciate your time and support. I am pleased that you liked my submission:) Have a super day!

Speaks Volumes March 21, 2023 at 10:08 PM You Yankies love boasting that you are done with Winter, just as we "Southerners" are heading into it ! But this one was well written, and I did enjoy it. Just wait til December when we are basking on the beach, enjoying cold tinnies from our Eskys.. and you guys are shoveling snow ! Loved it DT. Well done. Daniel Turner March 22, 2023 at 3:21 AM Thank you, Wendy. This one is not so much about THE seasons as much as it is about MY seasons. You know how it goes. Poets write about what inspires them. The changing seasons is very inspiring. Really, what kind of winter do you Aussies have anyway. 15 degrees C. Have to wear a one piece instead of a bikini. LOL

Harry Horsman March 21, 2023 at 9:33 PM Love how you have penned this gem, Daniel, i'm captivated, as i move along season's way. Daniel Turner March 22, 2023 at 3:14 AM Thanks Harry. It seems the older I get, the faster they change. Great to see you Harry. You're lookin good:) I hope all is well with you my friend.

Gershon Wolf March 21, 2023 at 7:41 PM The seasons may come in go, but the love in you abides. Love the reflective-romantic touch, Daniel! (Thank you for all of your visits to my site. Much appreciated!) ~ Gershon Gershon Wolf March 22, 2023 at 6:25 PM Much appreciated, Daniel, and the feeling is mutual. Take care! :) gw Daniel Turner March 21, 2023 at 7:50 PM Thanks GW, Get outta here. Why wouldn't I read? You are an excellent writer and a good friend:) Case closed!

Katharine L. Sparrow March 21, 2023 at 7:17 PM Gorgeous! The wine references dove-tail beautifully with the theme of this delicate piece. I think this poem displays the beauty of having lived a lot of years, where memories are so many and appreciation of what we yet have is so strong. Wonderful sonnet. I think I have done a few Italian sonnets, I will check and see! Daniel Turner March 21, 2023 at 7:44 PM Thank you, Katharine. Your summary is spot on. i appreciate your kindness and support. Please do, i'd love to read one. I'm a fan:)
