My Sunshine

“Love comforteth like sunshine after rain” Shakespeare I sit beside the window with a frown. Since early morning nothing has gone right. The steady thrum of rain as it pours down assaults my ears! I long to see sun’s light. With plans I had this day now fallen through, I watch the clouds which, like my thoughts, I find are darkening. I don’t know what to do about the woes I’ve harbored in my mind. The hours have crawled, but unexpectedly My love arrives home early, and he brings A rose bouquet and a big hug for me! The thrum of rain goes on, yet my heart sings, for all I needed was to see his grin, and sunshine has already been let in! Written May 5, 2014

Hello Andrea, I'm new to poetry soup an look forward to being a part of the community. I've read a couple of your poems and you have what great poets are made of. The imagery had me right there with you. Sonnets can be quite challenging but yours flowed like a song. A very romantic song. I look forward to reading more.

Andrea, just catching up with the contests. This sonnet flowed(oh, not a pun) nicely. Enjoyed it and the subtle reminder that love must be courted as is the sunshine. John

And I'm sure the feeling was reciprocated. When I thought of you and your truck drivin' man, it reminded me of that John Denver song "Back Home Again". Congratulations! And I see this is a new one!
