Her Smile - Spenserian Sonnet
Her smile is like a wondrous day in May
when morning's glow gilds sky with golden light.
And happy singing robins lead the way
for taking care of burdens never slight.
Her smile gives me a frame of mind that's right,
there's sudden warmth of plesure deep within.
This treasure placed...

Spenserian Sonnet To a Beautiful Lady
Trochaic Pentameter

My love's spirit's gentle like a breeze that
blows cool o'er this my brow, most hot, feverish.
I am made calm by her presence like at
times when discontent doth make one peevish.
She is children's mother never churlish,
meeting needs with day to day devotion.
Seen ne'er showing disposition...

Snow White's Icy Heart -Spenserian Sonnet
You're startin to feel lonely, the guilt is settin in, it's changing,
you're only so strong as you portray, and now it's fading-
into a red bubbling mess, boiling, rearranging
into something new, indestructible and its paying-
for the consequences, this guilt has no sympathy for dating-
whether it's hells...

Mountain and Sea - Spenserian Sonnet
Mountains are immovable, defeating
Except when worn by a mustard seed faith.
Your love for me is transient, fleeting
Gone so quickly, it is more like a wraith.
You have too much love, like Henry the Eighth;
There's ennui in your arms; death in your gaze.
And she may be new,...

Smile of Artemis (Spenserian Sonnet)
At crescent moon I see Artemis smile
in eyes of blue; the laughing eyes of you.
I look at you and lose my heart awhile
as love reminds our souls we're one in two.
In you I know my dreams are coming true,
my senses lost within a flushing cheek,
the...

Premium Member New Year Tag - Spenserian Sonnet
T’is the season of jolly and such fun
Ending a year and starting out brand new
Others will be looking to the long run
Uplifting many with words from a few
Celebrating the new binding like glue
Moving together with tag poetry
Pot on the stove with Epulaeryu brew
This stew is...

Premium Member Celibacy Spenserian Sonnet
Celibacy 

Buxom spouse desired of most any man
 His love his life must nature wash away 
  Voluptuous swaying hips man’s eyes scan 
   His gaze into those hazel eyes doeth sway 
    Fleshly desires it seems always that...

Oneness -Spenserian Stanza
Such union tastes now like ambrosia sweet,
this oneness we share while our lives remain.
Now my love, speak anew for time is fleet,
repeat your promise, gladsome oath's refrain.
Ah Specter, deign not evil toward this twain,
but keep away Grim Reaper, shade of night.
Fortuna, may it be that...

Premium Member Spenserian Stanza: Summer Thunder
Heat hovers in the violet evening veil,
Adorned by she whose violent eyes glow white.
As static from her nimbus iris hails,
Ionic bolts of plasmic sound and light
Reveal sights of what’s hiding in the night.
Such nonce electric shocks across the sky,
Which tear the air with bolts of...

Sonnet to the Empty Grave - a Spenserian sonnet
The love of God is a priceless blessing
An affection mightier than fire
Empty grave; the saints, forever singing
To die for me was his greatest desire

Shall I liken Christ to any desire?
The nails and stone couldn't retain my Lord
For my sake, He was caught in the crossfire
To...

Lock Down : Spenserian Forte Sonnet


During the lock down the biggest challenge
is unexpected interruption to
perform daily activities, manage
it satisfactorily to break through.

Challenge to deal with the abrupt change to
one's lifestyle; Normalcy broke. Adopting
something new always difficult to do
somehow everyone tries for adjusting.

One deadly virus spread its reach causing
panic; Media constantly...

Snowflakes Spiraling
A dreaming beam of light sighs knowingly
Teasing with cool pride and shining brightly
The blushing sky moans mercifully 
Mum with quiet snowy strain 
At the same time, moving gently in the quiet terrain
The wintry wind sings lightly in a chilly entertain
Stars twinkle through the darkness sight
And...
