Joseph May Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Over a Barrel

Ink stained papers scattered at his feet
 As upon his muse he will draw
 His words are for a girl he thinks so sweet
 As his dog offers a helping paw

 His labor of love requires words sublime
 With true feelings coming from his heart
 A  poem, with beautiful rhymes
 He soon finds the words to impart:

 "You are my moon my stars,
 My sunshine in the falling rain
 Whether you are near or far
 You I adore my dearest Lorraine"

His emotions had risen to the brim
Love had brought out the poet in him

Robert Lindley November 2, 2019 at 10:02 AM Truly majestic poetry my friend. Yes, I can see the concentration on the boy's face as he searches for just the right word. You nailed it with this one, must surely be a podium winner methinks.. A fav- a true gem too.

Jennifer Proxenos October 8, 2019 at 12:34 PM This is so cute Joseph, strange how we all have a story as to when and how we started writing poetry - I believe in every 200 people you will always find a couple of poets, some of whom have their poems unfortunately stacked in a cupboard with dust and cobwebs all over them - everybody needs that little push to discover themselves! Great write, Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Joseph May October 26, 2019 at 7:50 AM Thank you Jennifer
