Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

Gold Within the Ink May Heart's Depths Relay

Gold Within The Ink May Heart's Depths Relay

The gold within the ink, it truly glows
As golden afternoon sun slowly sinks,
Night arrives to gift its many shows
As midnight owl its eyes rapidly blinks.
The prancing moon its soft beams splatters
O' the washing tides sing and play along
Writing poetic verses such matters,
As does the music to romantic songs.
Take pride in verses sweetly splashed
From within the surging tides of one's soul,
Be they born of life, sorrows rehashed
Or rejoicing in attaining one's goal!

Gold within the ink may heart's depths relay
Truth of the soul that so sincerely prays.

Kim Rodrigues February 16, 2021 at 8:14 PM Very pretty, Robert! I wrote an Italian sonnet today. Perhaps you will read. Robert Lindley February 16, 2021 at 9:40 PM Thank you my friend. I will go immediately to check your sonnet out! As you know sonnets are my favorite poetry form to read or to write. Although I love to experiment with sonnets, I am a huge admirer of the golden sonnet masters of old. God bless..

Lady Labyrinth February 16, 2021 at 7:56 PM Beautiful. Truth of the Soul. x Robert Lindley February 16, 2021 at 9:38 PM Thank you my friend. Yes , Alberto Rios. Long ago decades, I read a bit of his poetry. Truly great poet--one that has a pure poet's heart and sees without pretentiousness and the vanity of begging applause. More of a poet for the common man- as was Frank Libby Stanton, one of my early heroes of poetry. God bless you and grant you the success in life that you deserve my friend.
