Susan Woodrow Poet Sonnet

Enamorada

Enamored, the orthodox heart did dare,
negating the ornery ways that glared,
as sparkles snared in a love impasse.
Memories quaint, these moments that’ve passed…

…of you and I, perfect Sol hierophants
Rays of hot gold, palpable in nimble hands
as our limbs dazzle-danced with youth’s prowess,
denying our eyes of the immanent duress…

Amidst the music and raucous laughter,
evermore imbibed and tasted hereafter…
New Zealand waved its summer days southward ~
Dolphins winked thru the surf’s cresting reward ~~

So long to those sun-filled, warm Christmas days…
So long to those love-filled, carefree plays…

John Hamilton May 24, 2021 at 10:10 AM Thanks Susan for your excellent sonnet I think I may have made a mistake, should have placed higher sorry! Susan Woodrow May 24, 2021 at 7:27 PM not at all, John...I was happy to have a title that suited your theme but a sonnet?! glad it placed :)

Daniel Turner May 11, 2021 at 5:30 PM Hey Susan:) I love your sonnet, as you know they are a favorite of mine. This is a good one! Good luck, Daniel Turner May 11, 2021 at 6:06 PM Susan, when I was first learning to write sonnets in meter, at the top of my page, I put the na Na na Na na Na na Na na Na then every time I came up with a thought I made it fit the pattern. After a while I quit putting it at the top of the page because it started to come naturally, even in my rhymes. I hope this helps:) Susan Woodrow May 11, 2021 at 5:50 PM that's high praise for me cos you are really good at sonnets ...i still struggle with syllable stresses ..thank you, Daniel :)
