Notes About The Poem

Friday night the weekend begins for most
Mothers, Fathers, with family members host
To be together with those they LOVE most
While a lonely man speaks with his Wife's ghost


On my computer the POETRY site
Saturday mornings some comments I write
My former students all work through the night
An old man see's his Wife's Heavenly Light


After Church, there is my A A meeting
Forlorn lonesomeness,now takes a beating
I get home; Featured POETS; I'm greeting
Images of my lovely Wife : Fleeting


Monday, a new week, new POEMS I shall start
I pick up my quill and write from my Heart

Author's note: Dear Andrea, all lines have 10 syllables(Thanks for the Spelling)
I still have to work on the format - aabb- This looks like aaaa but it's not ; a -  just happens to rhyme with - b -

This is very nice. I like the personal touch and how you discuss those things that make up your daily life, HG. You don't have to worry about pleasing me with syllable counts and rhyme scheme. There are plenty of places online that teach one how to do a classic sonnet, but if you ever have a question on anything, just soupmail me. Yes, I call this a modern sonnet!
