Paul Callus Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

With Gift In Hand

With Gift in Hand (Cornish Sonnet) 


He went in search of love’s abode;
far off she lived in solitude.
Along the narrow winding road,
in awe partook of nature’s charms
and forged ahead in eager mood
instilled by thought of waiting arms.

With gift in hand, a heartfelt ode,
he hummed the lyrics to a tune,
inhaled the fragrance, as he strode,
of the wild flowers wrapped in hues.
He knew his journey would end soon
beside his loving ardent muse.

He went in search of love’s abode
with gift in hand, a heartfelt ode.

Timothy Hicks February 16, 2016 at 12:32 AM Oooh I like this sonnet, Paul ... and in an unique rhyme scheme, too. The image of the man giving his surprised lover a bouquet made me think of summer, and an easy-going stroll. Congrats on the high marks! Paul Callus February 16, 2016 at 10:56 AM Thank you for the positive feedback and congrats, Timothy. This is the first Cornish Sonnet that I have attempted, thanks to Craig's contest. He is a fair and strict judge, so anything from 1st up to HM is a welcome result:) ~ Regards // paul

Charmaine Chircop January 2, 2016 at 3:32 PM So so very beautiful. Mu first fave. of this year this poem is ... Lovely. Happy New Year to you and yours. Re your comment on my post, yes the weather is lovely isn't it ?. We just had a picnic at Mizieb today, and had the time of our lives cooking on camping gas cookers and sharing some New Year 's champagne and sweets. Lovely days indeed. Paul Callus January 3, 2016 at 2:17 PM Thank you, Charm, for the lovely comments and the fav. I was inspired to write this Cornish Sonnet after seeing Craig's contest rules. It's not for the contest, though, because his requires a new year theme. // Yes, it has been lovely weather for picnics and walks; I've been making the most of it! ~ Regards // paul
