Robert Lindley Poet Sonnet

With Nature My Life Stays In Tune

With Nature My Life Stays In Tune
      ( "Sonnetina Rispetto" )

With Nature my life stays in tune
Be it day or clear night's bright moon
On this, my heart holds true and fast
With clear sunshine in month of June
Pains in life my soul seeks to prune
Cuts for the good, thus meant to last
With Nature my life stays in tune
Be it day or clear night's bright moon

Greatness in this, Nature's sweet song
Words my heart holds, praying along
On this, my heart holds true and fast
Cuts for the good, thus meant to last
With Nature my life stays in tune
Be it day or clear night's bright moon

Keith Bickerstaffe March 28, 2016 at 1:45 PM Magnificent flow, phrasing and imagery! '...be it day or clear night's bright moon' along with other repetitions this one sticks out as the most effective to me. Well done Robert! Best wishes, Keith
