Eileen Manassian Poet Sonnet

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

Poet Destroyer A April 11, 2014 at 9:32 PM Congratulations... Nice poem Eileen...Pd Eileen Manassian April 11, 2014 at 11:33 PM Thank you, PD.

Andrea Dietrich April 11, 2014 at 7:35 PM 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. Eileen Manassian April 11, 2014 at 11:34 PM 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.
