Sonnets of Dreams and Love

In her Summer garden, grew a white rose
Its delightful scent she fondly admired
How she would cry if her prized rose would die
Poetry about it she did compose
Romantic sonnets of dreamers and love
Her heart's yearning, she would pen and disclose
But unfullfilled her dreams would always be
For no gentleman offered to propose
She abandoned hope of feeling desired
If her prized rose would die, how she would cry
In Winter's snow, her lovely garden froze

Ink Empress Date: 8/16/2024 10:25:00 PM This is so deeply moving and beautiful how youv written about the white rose and how it flows. Love the way you phrase lines too! You rhyme so well dear lin lane! I felt this soulfully touching take on this form! Congratulations on your win, well deserved Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 8/16/2024 10:31:00 PM Thanks so much, Ink. My first line wasn't meant to end in death for the rose or sadness for the lonely lady, but sometimes a poem finds its way on a current in the opposite direction in which it was meant to flow.

Crystol Woods Date: 8/16/2024 11:13:00 AM I enjoyed your sweet poem , images of purity and desire and eventual death...a morose sweetness. Congratulations on placing!

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/14/2024 10:00:00 PM Quite a sad scene Lin, yearning for a love that never came and her only joy was the white rose. Another gem from your pen Lin ,good luck in the contest. Tom Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 8/15/2024 7:43:00 AM Yes, it is sad, Tom. I was trying to think of something to write for Emile's contest and the first line came to mind... I had to follow the lead, so why couldn't I have written a happy ending? Thanks for your well wishes. Emile is a good judge, so if it doesn't place, I'll know it was not worthy.
