Delice Arleen Skelly Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Perfidious Love

Summertime remembered 'twas when we met
By banks of Avon where water runs deep
Burnt into my heart how could I forget
So now your indifference makes me weep.

You ignore me while you flaunt new passion
Why am I discarded so ruthlessly?
False love, you pledged you heartless assassin
I now plead guilty to credulity.

My eyes are dry all my tears have been shed
Was lost for a while but now I am strong
Heart wound not mortal nonetheless I bled
perfidious lover silenced love's song

So, spinster for life is what I will be
No handsome gallant on his bended knee.




This is a very basic sonnet. 10 syllables per line, rhyming scheme 3 stanzas and couplet ending. Iambic Pentameter eludes me at the moment.
