Writing a Love Sonnet POTD

If only I could write you a sonnet, Iambic pentameter and what not, Let my muse mull profoundly upon it. I must write it quickly lest I forgot. It will have to stress real passion, love, Mention a rose if I really must But for heaven's sake leave out the white dove, Still do mention the red moon that I trust. Compare her eyes to some fragrant flower, And wish to taste her full strawberry lips, Scheme to meet her in a quiet bower, Clouds enfold us in mythical eclipse. Will she come, will she go, my marigold? Ah, my poor love sonnet has now gone cold. POTD 14 September 2020
