Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

As Cool Winds Grace Soft Emerging Twilight

As Cool Winds Grace Soft Emerging Twilight


Where dawn and dew laden green meadows meet
earth hosts visitors from fading skies.
All our wide world tis but Nature's blank sheet
yielding to song and newly birthed life cries.

Sun conspires with Nature's creating hands
cool winds grace the soft emerging twilight.
Love, light and joy races across these lands
as hope's sweet wishes explode into sight.

As sunbeams stare into glass windowpanes
man wakes to beautifully crafted scenes.
Erased are his sad and dark dreamed night stains
sought now, life living well by any means.

Where dawn and dew laden green meadows meet
All our wide world tis but Nature's blank sheet.

Jan Allison November 22, 2016 at 10:06 AM A delightful sonnet:-) I love the way you have used two lines from the poem to create the final couplet - I've never seen that in a sonnet before:-) I try to post a poem a day but sometime life issues get in the way - good for you Robert:-) hugs Jan xx7 Robert Lindley November 22, 2016 at 1:26 PM Yes, I break a few of the rules that others think inviolate. Some even think doing so makes a poet a pariah.. a charlatan, an ignorant poser! And such people that cleave desperately to their stone monuments while disregarding the true soul of poetry ARE THEY THEMSELVES LOSING ALSO.. IMHO
