Sara Kendrick Poet Sonnet

Youth's Vim and Vigor

Bedtime a time of quiet remembering
Surely there is the Whip-poor-will's call
Definitely thrice was the ghost calling
No_only an old woman's dream in fall

Now my life seems to pass uneven
As a winter's night storm first rain _ice
Wrestling against old age soon engraven
Longing for youth's vim and vigor thrice

Somehow there'll be a brand new season
Spring soon will spring_ridding earth of ice
There will be a very great reunion
Where the birds and butterflies entice

To all things good or bad there are seasons
Now flash forward__to forever spring paradise


(Se terminer)

Don't tell me wrong count!..Poetic license

Poetic license works for me LOL I like this, it comes from the heart;) Thanks for the comment on my limerick, my first attempt;) it was more challenging than I thought! sonnets are next to try:)

Carolyn Devonshire February 7, 2011 at 2:33 PM Hon, I love the way you finished this as a sonnet. Excellent use of the form and the upbeat ending is very welcome. Great piece of introspection here, Sara. Love, Carolyn

Carolyn Devonshire February 6, 2011 at 11:50 AM Sara, I'm also"wrestling against old age" and appreciated the comparison of this to the onset of winter. Let me know when it's done, dear. Love, Carolyn
