Daniel Turner Poet Sonnet

Lament of My Life

An angel came and touched my lifeless heart 
Mercifully she warmed me in her arms
We traveled through time's mist back to the start 
Her peace was felt which sheltered me from harm
My life appeared to me, in a rainbow
Each color was a big part of my past
All my love shown as the color yellow
She joked about it's width, which made me laugh
The orange was my children being born
My anger and my temper faded  red
Blue was the many losses I had mourned
Green signified bad deeds and words I'd said

She smiled, my rainbow was so colorful
The life I had was really wonderful

Andrea Dietrich March 11, 2016 at 8:46 PM this is really nice, Daniel. Maybe I will look this one over with advice for you on meter. it seems like it leans more toward being metered than the other one you showed me. it can be easily perfected I think to iambic pentameter. Also it is a very cool poem!! Daniel Turner March 11, 2016 at 9:03 PM Thank you, Andrea. I am always looking to improve my writing. I have never regretted learning. It keeps me alive. The flowers are beautiful. Peace nice lady:)
