Josefina Costales Poet Sonnet

Nirvana

I hover above myself
mentally pacing the dark
in pursuit of the absurd
while day turns to golden haze
Swallows flit like darting flames
flowers a scatter of paint
pond waters mirror the sky
tinted in rainbow colors
I will the wind to be still
a frisson of awareness
obliterates fretfulness
death and life just whimsical
Is such bliss mere shattered silk
or am I in Nirvana.

Leon Enriquez September 6, 2015 at 3:51 AM Dear Josefina: If this is your 1st time writing a sonnet, then I think you've done remarkably well. Write a few more to really develop your own style. In your poem " Nirvana", you don't really need the full-stops. Just let them run on. BTW, I forgot to tell you that after you finish writing your 3 quatrains and 1 couplet, you should put them together with no spaces for the 14 lines. Leon Josefina Costales September 6, 2015 at 6:55 AM Thanks again Leon, you are so helpful. So I edited the poem as above, no stops, all lines together...:)
