Len Gasun Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

Prides of Poseidon

When sea gods invisibly show their glory
They’re escorted by their elusive sea army;
Vow before them, their loud rhapsodic chords play,
As heard in light of blue waves on summer day.

Marvelous army with mighty spiral swords
Hewed by  sea gods, their magnificence- behold!
Their trimmed trident’s tines conjure like somersault,
Wish I'm sea god’s knight to ride on them and joust.

Coastal birds herald their rare presence with glee
With ineffable joy,  breeze hums sweet ditty;
Surfs break in applause beneath the granite cliffs
As splendid narwhals’ display… nature  breaths…sniffs~

Narwhals are great sea god’s mighty unicorns,
They’re  special sea army,  prides of Poseidon!

A WELL DESERVED HONOR..A7 Len Gasun December 4, 2015 at 10:33 PM It's alright my very dear friend, Robert.

Gary Bateman October 30, 2015 at 2:42 PM Hello Leonora, Still checking out your poetry here. Belated congratulations are in order here for "POTD"!! This is truly a special write indeed. I've done my share of sonnets too, but I must say this is the first time I've read one in a 11-syllable versification. Quite unique and quite wonderful. The high quality tone and tenor rendered by this type of meter helps to highlight further the fine imagery and perfect word diction of your sonnet. Another "7" + "FAV" in my book!! Best Always, Gary Len Gasun November 3, 2015 at 8:21 AM Hello, my dear friend, Gary. This is just a try to 11 syllables sonnet instead of ten, a little revision made. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your precious time to read my sonnet. Your encouraging words mean a lot to me. Thank you for the honor o faving my poem and the 7 rating. God bless you .Hugs! Hugs!
