Notes About The Poem

Robert J. Lindley, 4- 23-2019
Sonnet 

Note: This new sonnet born from first stanza comment made on my having read both Nina's blog titled, What Rhymes 2: Cross-Border Disorder and then my immediate reading of 
M.L. Kiser's new poem, titled, "Stars Above". 
I got started writing and I simply could not stop.....
Dedicated to you my friends , Nina Parmenter and M.L. Kiser- because your words given and sweet verses inspired the creation of this new piece.

O' the Many Things Brighter Stars Have Seen

O' The Many Things Brighter Stars Have Seen

O' the many things brighter stars have seen
 through the long ages of our hopes and regrets
 lives, loves, losses, and all the in between
 all of the all, humanity begets!

O' the sights, lovers basking in moon light
 sweet memories that one may think divine
 under star-lite gaze, its Heavenly sight
 dearest kisses, signaling all is fine.
 
O' the grace felt in soft, gentle night's breeze
 its healing power to heart touch and save
 begs romance that sings, blossoms into ease
 passion's truth, serenity's path it paves.
 
O' that life would bring its happiness true
With smallest of hope within me or you.

Your wonderful poetry has inspired me today to start a romantic poem-first stanza now completed. May take a bit to ever get completed, as I have 7 poems started as of right now and two other collaborations ongoing.

M. L. Kiser April 24, 2019 at 1:00 PM I am not sure what to say...first, thank you, Robert, I feel honored. Second, this is beautiful; you are a kind hearted friend. Robert Lindley April 24, 2019 at 2:03 PM My fine friend, it is I that must thank you for the inspiration your poem gave me. What started out as just a 4 verse reply(stanza) inspired by your poem, turned into a creative and much inspired finished sonnet.

Vijay Pandit April 24, 2019 at 7:35 AM Amazing how quickly you can give shape and sound to beautiful sonnets like this poem. A true sign of an accomplished writer...you certainly are! Well done, Robert. Robert Lindley April 24, 2019 at 8:07 AM Thank you so very much, my good friend. Your very kind words are a gift to me this glorious and beautiful morning..

Lawrence Sharp April 23, 2019 at 11:26 PM A heartfelt and very well crafted sonnet, my friend; terrific write. Robert Lindley April 24, 2019 at 2:02 AM Thank you my friend. I am glad that it suddenly struck me to compose the first stanza as a comment to M.L. Kiser's poem. I got started and couldnt stop. Sometimes when driving, I may think of verses or a first stanza and I pull over to be able to safely jot it down. Kind of crazy-huh? lol
