David Byrne Poet Sonnet

Shores

While living deep I realise I can  
Go deeper still to try and find my man
The man in I that searches and implores
The man that wonders walks along these shores
Amphibian I crawl out from the sea
And brain evolves as something just like me
Then stand up straight and wander on this beach
And pain it strikes when I stretch out to reach
Where is this place and what should I do here
This place that’s full of treachery and fear
There’s awesome beauty also everywhere
Such beauty that a mind can scarce compare

We living things are lonesome and we’re here
Together on these shores we hold so dear

Dr.Ram Mehta July 21, 2010 at 6:59 AM Sorry, It's English or Shakespearean sonnet, alright.

Dr.Ram Mehta July 21, 2010 at 6:57 AM Well worded and well penned sonnet. I enjoyed it. Is it Italian or English sonnet?

Doris Culverhouse July 21, 2010 at 4:21 AM great write!! I don't like to think we fell out of a tree or the ocean though...

C.C Bloomsfield July 21, 2010 at 2:19 AM To be lonesome and yet in search,to be on those shores sounds somehow lonely yet not alone,romantic and beautiful!C.C

Caroline Cécile Delacroix July 20, 2010 at 7:24 PM Another interesting and beautiful write, David! But I believe we, amphibians, as you say, are not meant to be lonesome.

Andrea Dietrich July 20, 2010 at 7:01 PM and THIS is a very interesting sonnet, David. Some great thinking going on in here! Luv, Andrea
