Silent One Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

Critical Liaisons

A poets dream, she'll seduce with her eyes,
pens will desire to praise her charming guise,
but be cautious, she'll treat you like her book,
explore each chapter with her detailed look.
Drain your ink, smoking pages in to fire,
drink your spirit like blood thirsty vampire.

But now it seems she may have met her match,
a poet who's heart, she's struggling to snatch.
He holds scriptures, she's never read before,
each musing, leaves her yearning to feel more.
A heart breaker, who gives no man a chance,
dream maker, who leaves women in a trance.

A modern day Samson and Delilah -
spiritual soulmate who could tame her.

Beryl Edmonds October 26, 2020 at 6:14 PM Marvellous, “a poet who's heart, she's struggling to snatch” love that line, who wouldn’t want to snatch a lover with a poetic heart. Every line’s wonderful, a superb write. . . Belle Silent One October 29, 2020 at 10:40 AM Thank you..

Jennifer Proxenos October 23, 2020 at 11:01 AM Everyone needs a spiritual soulmate and quite correctly explained below, opposites normally attract far more, than having too much in common. Once again, your sincere, truthful heart comes to the fore and your last two lines I love - they summarize your poem perfectly. Blessings and hugs my friend, Jennifer. Silent One October 24, 2020 at 12:47 PM Thank you Jennifer..

Jabbes Banda October 22, 2020 at 4:00 PM Lovely! Silent One October 24, 2020 at 12:47 PM Thank you..

Peter Dome October 21, 2020 at 5:30 AM Excellent writing. So eloquent and well constructed. If you have a book, I'd love to read. you are so inspiring. Well done. Silent One October 21, 2020 at 9:58 AM I've only been in one book and that's was because it was for charity... I've no desire to be published, but thank you for your kind words.

Evelyn Judy Buehler October 20, 2020 at 8:30 PM Beautiful sonnet. It's a fave. Thanks for sharing this marvelous poem. :) Silent One October 21, 2020 at 9:57 AM Thank you...

Brandy Nicole October 20, 2020 at 8:25 PM "She'll seduce with her eyes" Well. "Who could tame her ?" It sounds like he can, because he "leaves women in a trance" Once again, your muse has created a Masterpiece. ~ Brandy Silent One October 21, 2020 at 9:57 AM Indeed he can and in sure he would... Everyone gets tamed after a while... Thank you

Mystic Rose Rose October 20, 2020 at 2:59 PM Ah, sounds like two powerful souls here dear friend. They appear to have alot in common, including karmic attraction, nicely written S.O Silent One October 21, 2020 at 9:56 AM They are actual opposites, but opposites attract... Thank you

Charmaine Chircop October 20, 2020 at 2:46 PM Heart-Breaker and Dream-maker quite a match.Somehow this story reminds me of The Taming Of The Shrew..I enjoyed reading it... I loved the way this poet knows how to tackle this woman ,which can easily drink each man'spirit. You describe this woman as very powerful..but the poet is as powerful as her when it comes to soul. Intriguing...Loved it. Silent One October 21, 2020 at 9:54 AM I've never seen nor read taming of the shrew... The woman is a heartbreaker but the man is a dream maker, so she has met her match... thank you

Janice Canerdy October 20, 2020 at 10:59 AM Excellent sonnet, S.O. Janice Silent One October 20, 2020 at 11:50 AM Thank you

Victor Buhagiar October 20, 2020 at 8:25 AM Pity they both had to die. Quite interesting poem. ~~ Silent One October 20, 2020 at 9:17 AM Yes it was, but its just a story I guess... The idea of Samson and Delilah came at the end, was not the inspiration in writing this.. Thanks..

Tom Cunningham October 20, 2020 at 7:50 AM You've brought the story of Samson and Delilah to life in this wonderful sonnet S. O. Tom Silent One October 20, 2020 at 9:17 AM Thank you, but that was a comparison to the situation of these two individuals, not really bringing their story to life..

Angela Crabtree October 20, 2020 at 7:36 AM By far, another great write! You are very creative, Silent One. I like the way you combine either the perfect picture or video to go with all of your poetry. Saved to my wall of favorites to read again. Have a great day :) Silent One October 20, 2020 at 9:18 AM The picture and the music always come after.. I do have a strong connection with music and sometimes it helps me to write... Thank you..
