Sonnet-Ku-Ku Contest * Sponsor: Charlie Messina

November 19, 2023

Nights reflected by shadows on the wall Candle flame silhouettes: they rise and fall In our hearts the fire grows even brighter arms around each other, ever tighter Fervent heat of a love forged long ago moves in rhythmic currents as warm streams flow at streams end is our place of rendezvous untouched by none, except for me and you When night is over and sun starts to rise your face I see when opening my eyes A soft smile of contentment will I wear knowing each night, my love, you will be there When darkness of night transcends into morn I wake to love, which each day seems newborn brighter is the morn as night transcends the darkness when the sun will rise shadows wake as silhouettes on the wall ~ in the sun they rise and fall

What a smashing combo, Lin. Haven’t seen the contest specs but I think your poem(s) pretty well clarify them. One to add to your list of wins, I reckon. Terry

Interesting contest... Very romantic Lin. A combo of sonnet; haiku, and monoku: Wow!!! Are the words that are in extra dark type meant to be shadows? Thanks

Well planned sonnet has deep romantic meaning. Shadows added a lot to the time sequences.

What a stunning Sonnet, Lin! It was a romance poem filled with nature's imagery resulting in misty quality. The Haiku and Monoku at the end added a special touch that tells me of your poetic skills. Nicely done...enjoy your Thanksgiving, hugs, Sara

I must praise your splendid composition, a Sonnet of exquisite thought, coupled with a haiku and Monoku. You artfully depict the marvels of the natural world intertwined with the enigmatic allure of shadows.

My head has been filled with lots of things today. One is that I should finish packing. I’m not sure if I followed Charlie’s instructions correctly but… there it is. You’ll get the idea of it, Jan. Your mind is on getting your book uploaded on Amazon today. How exciting for you!
