Emile Pinet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

             

Inquisitive Dreams

Leonardo da Vinci felt flying
was possible, sketching wings in detail.
And the fact that birds flew kept him trying,
even when all of his efforts would fail.

An artist and a brilliant engineer,
he designed dreams drawn by his gifted pen.
But his passion for flying was sincere,
although that goal eluded him back then.

All his life, he invented contraptions
designed to unlock the secrets of flight.
And his alterations and adaptions
haunted his inquisitive dreams at night.

Yet, despite how much one may desire it,
some indulgences fate will not permit.

L Milton Hankins June 28, 2021 at 2:48 PM A good one, Emile. I had a lot of difficult thinking of da Vinci as a broken person, but I suppose he was...in this sense. Good writing as always, my friend. Emile Pinet June 29, 2021 at 7:51 AM Thanks Milt, I suppose he was somewhat broken having left many projects half-finished and never achieving flight, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
