Cornish Sonnet- These Sparkling Tears

These sparkling tears do tell a woeful tale Of sorrows hidden deep within my heart They bring to light the heartaches I bewail And speak of broken dreams I bury deep Hear now this tale and vow to never part Awaken love from this, a deathlike sleep In answer to my tears, let love prevail Reach out and comfort me with words so sweet Protect me from my demons that assail For none but you can bring back life to me And gift me joy with which each day to greet If bound to you, my soul shall be set free These sparkling tears do tell a woeful tale In answer to my tears, let love prevail For Craig Cornish The Cornish Sonnet March 10, 2014

Eileen, I guess you and I both messed up, but I am just not very "with it" because I guess I don't remember the rules well enough to see what you did wrong. In my poem, I used the "A" rhyme more than I should have or something like that, he told me. I was going crazy the day I wrote my cornish sonnet. I think the more I try to follow rules, I somehow mess myself up. Anyway, this is a very lovely poem and nobody will ever know there was a problem. Congrats for your win.

Thanks, Andrea....I don't know what to write. I went over my poem, so many times...checking back and forth. I'm still a bit confused about how I messed up and will go back to Craig's original post about the contest. I'm very disappointed. Thanks for stopping by.

I really like this form, you have expressed so many layers of love through these verses. It is good that love prevails beyond sparkling tears.

True love does. Love without reciprocation doesn't.
