Victor Buhagiar Poet Sonnet

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.

Hilda Greenhough May 15, 2024 at 8:32 AM I came upon this beautiful sonnet, one of your older works. The rhetorical words mesmerized me. I can understand it's selection as POTD.

Karen Jones October 10, 2021 at 7:04 AM Very creative I really enjoy how your poet struggles as we do then it goes cold!

Quoth Theraven June 20, 2021 at 8:19 AM Victor, A delightful Sonnet for one called marigold. Meter and syllable counts bent to a degree of practicality in a poem. So long as the love shines through. Happy Father's Day. -Richard
