NOTE: After reading Carole Duet's beautiful sonnet, I decided to try to write a sonnet using her new sonnet form. From her poem, Chasing the Moon and Stars, which she describes her new form this way,

"made up my own "meter"/sylllable count per line for this one. It goes like this: 1st verse is 7,8,9,10; 2nd verse is 9,7,7,9; 3rd verse is 10,9,8,7; and the couplet is 7,7."

Therefore, I dedicate this sonnet to Carole Duet for her inspiration in inspiring me to write this new poem using her new sonnet form.

Midnight Comes, Memories I Embrace (Dedication Poem) Heart deep, roaring thunder cracks waves pulsating with rhythmic aches. Desiring first, to be back on track yet too afraid to ever hit the brakes. Midnight comes, memories I embrace not a dream, for you are there. Awesome smile and your dear angel face I pray we will our lives share. When imprisoned down in sad valleys low earnest praying for another chance. With love crying this you should know true love thrived in our romance. Heart aching to kiss your lips take again Heavenly trips. Robert J. Lindley, 6-16-2017 Sonnet( A Lost Romance), (Dedicated to Carole Duet), For inspiring me to write today using her new sonnet form. Based upon a very sad experience of lost love from my youth..

Oh Robert - that is such a sweet tribute to your lovely wife and to Carole for inspiring you to write it - I intuit that the lost love of your youth you mentioned, was a prelude preparing you for the greater experience...Maria

Than you Darren, means a lot coming from you my friend. I was very pleased that Carole liked this piece. I found her creative, poetic talent to be immense and her new sonnet form very interesting. I may use it again in the near future. As of now, I am not doing much new writing.

Thank you my friend. I was pleased to read Carole's fine sonnet and inspired to give her new sonnet form a try. Both were quite pleasurable experiences for me. I hope this effort does justice to her new sonnet form and may be enjoyed when read by others.
