Ken Rone Poet Sonnet

Regrets

A candle burning low still sparks a flame
While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze.
A river running slow still sings it's name.
A candle burning low still sparks a flame.
When snow blows in the canyon I remain
And oft deny my constant hope to please.
A candle burning low still sparks a flame
While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze.

A river running slow still sings it's name.
A candle burning low still sparks a flame.
When snow blows in the canyon I remain
And oft deny my constant hope to please,
While trees bend to say goodbye to the breeze.
The lace-like frost trims memories of these.

I Am Anaya July 7, 2022 at 5:53 PM Your wonderful poetry full of optimism. Always hoping or believing that something good will happen, although a blanket of ice will try and make you think otherwise!

Marco Chies January 18, 2022 at 2:24 PM This is a rare poetry of intimate lyricism, pleasing to the eye and soul. I never praise what is worthless, so you must feel extremely comfortable saying: this praise has foundation and came from someone who, above all, breathes poetry. Btw, thanks for your comment in my work, too. Ken Rone January 18, 2022 at 3:31 PM I am humbled by your endorsenent. I've yet to be efforting poetry for a year. This piece came together well. Thank you.

L Milton Hankins July 2, 2021 at 8:31 AM Ken, I was quite impressed with your poem, "Regrets", which rose to the top spot for me. Thanks so much for entering my contest. Your write was absolutely splendid! Ken Rone July 7, 2021 at 11:13 AM Milt: this is a very belated appreciation after a week of travel, for the opportunity and challenge you presented. It is such an honor to win after being on the sit for barely over three months. you guidance during that time has helped me, all of which i tried to weave into the Trionet.
