Our Paradise My Sweet Love: Linking Pin Sonnet

Our Paradise Advise—My Sweetest Love! My sweetest love hearest thou reverently my advice My advice is to leave now for our home—in paradise. Paradise blooming with rainbows and tasty red cherries Cherries, delicious mangoes, and bright sweet berries. Berries with our cottage in the midst with a skylight Skylight, gingerbread, and sunset—await us at twilight. Twilight and misting rain for showers on our lawn Lawn where we sing sweet songs with birds at dawn. Dawn where firefly’s lights soothing sweet moods Moods with ravens bringing us nice nourishing food. Food while sparrows build our soft resting nest Resting nest, my dear love—my darling, my sweetest. Sweetest we will wish upon the mellow shining stars, Stars shining above us—where we shall not be far!
