Morning Glory

Ah, morning glory, such internal blush, defy the penetration of brash sun. Oh, linger, trumpet of dawn within the dim or haze of mid-morning's overcaste. Oh, fairest of the fair, your milk white core doest blush forth, a brim of purple poise one pinked with the cheek of infancy, the soft and silken skin of new born day. Ah, let your vine entwine the aged arch. Then, let the arbor, regal, drip delight. Your limpid leaves all faint with August’s heat, leaves like hands ‘tween fingers now enfold. Oh, only heaven knows more of beauty than the morn you blessed with this glory.
Birthday: September

Deb. I see some of the changes and it is reading much like a classic blank verse sonnet. I just love the lines of the third stanza. The vine and the arbor and the limpid leaves. soupmail.

So Miltonic, and yet so Byron ... what brave metaphors, what bright images! And all in tribute to my favorite flower ... lady, thou art a goddess too drunk with the gift of poetry, too passionate in lyric for my praises power.

DEb, I'd do a blog on poetry forms as you asked, but nobody reads when I do that stuff. Yes, Lyrical is a general term, just meaning what it says: sounds like music not like free verse. Blank is perfectly iambic all the way thru. This ones starts iambic, but the beat goes off track sometimes: for example in lines 2-4 it changes. Stanza 2 is almost perfect. As I reread it, I only see two other small places where it is not iambic, which is acceptable. This was very close actually!
