Kissed With White Sage

My love grows as bouquets for you today
you warm me a smile when hence you walk by
I care for you in the right type of way
you share your heart with me and I don't cry

I hope this lasts forever and we gleam
for that is what I hope to find from this
a prospect of hope we indeed do deem
a true story of peace and to find bliss

Forever ink blot on pages thus found
care so for affection in this story
authenticity will haunt you with sound
I will paint you a picture true glory

This I present to you with scent thereof
kissed with white sage to cleanse aura above

*I hope I finally wrote a sonnet correctly. Don't leave me guessing :)

Both topic, content and rhyme are good, Angela. What could be better is meter, but on the whole you have delivered. ~ Regards // paul

Thank you, Paul. The whole meter thing and iambic pentameter has me confused. I can't find anything on it that makes sense to me. I wanted to try to write one anyway :)

Sonnet are fourteen lines and have a rhyme scheme... Meter and iambic pentameter can be part of a sonnet, especially the English one.. Be happy and write with your heart, like the content of this poem

Thank you, Silent One. I appreciate your help on this. The iambic pentameter is the hardest for me :)

Fine sentiments Angela--sonnets are so hard to write for me--especially the meter.

And a fine sonnet it is, with 10 syllables per line. I wrote a few but I'm not much good at rhyme especially since I am not English or American. So my pronunciation is askew. ~~
