Bryn Strudwick Poet Sonnet

From Sonnets To Sonnet

FROM SONNETS TO SONNET

(Fourteen lines taken from nine sonnets)

She daydreams of a time long, long ago
So many joys in oh so many ways.
Sweethearts at school and sweethearts evermore,
Saw only one another in their gaze
Seeing nothing of those who milled around,
Such love would last forever and a day.
So how did love so perfect and complete
Simply wither and just fade away?
Summer days of youth have long since fled;
Sadly Autumn follows summer’s heat;
Suddenly, as shorter days grow cold,
So passion dies as lovers are replete.
     Sitting there before the firelight’s glow
     She daydreams of a time long, long ago.

Juliet Ligon March 13, 2021 at 3:28 PM Great idea to use lines from multiple sonnets to combine into one. This turned out really good!
