Sotto Poet Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Listen To the Moon

The plain is fuzzing with the ingress racing.
Predicted rain is heard in the birds singing.
Sow your seed when the moon tells its time.
Hear the tales close to the fire; it's sublime.

Contemplate the skies for the hawks cry.
Focus on the breeze and the moonlit sky.
The noble spirit exudes an altered tone.
To heed of the rite of the elder, not atone.

The misery of grievousness is heinous.
I am fated, that I could carry forward.
There's no growth from the coldness.
The stable grace cannot stem rearward.

For a dismal exhale to seek for reeling.
Hear the beat and banter with moving.

Valsa George April 10, 2022 at 1:46 AM This is so esoteric as most of your writings are.....meant for the intelligentsia! Too deep like the image ! Agree with what Judy has expressed ! Sotto Poet April 10, 2022 at 11:46 AM Thank you so much, my friend, Valsa. God Bless

Silpika Kalita April 9, 2022 at 9:01 PM With the imagery and the great metaphors, this poem is an excellent example of poetry as a medium of catharsis, very profound and deep... Prolific and analytical minute penning.. regards Sotto Poet April 10, 2022 at 11:46 AM Thank you so much, my friend, SILPIKA. God Bless
