Premium MemberAn English Sonnet of Adoration

Thy countenance behooves what I adore
The sun is dim beside your smile and glow
I see things in you never seen before
You make my heart beat anything but slow

Your feet they float on surface where we walk
Your clothing wafts like mist above the ground
I look at  you and find it hard to talk
My voice does

Premium MemberThe Waterfall An English Sonnet

Water flowing downward from the hilltop
Meandering through gullies and the fell
Even bigger mountains for the backdrop
Where it really starts so hard to tell

Reaching a low cliff it becomes airborne
And plunges to the pool not far below
Down there in amongst the thriving buckhorn
Where fish live in the depths and lesser flow

Colours dance in spray that rises

It'Ll Bring ::The English Sonnet Or the Shakespearean Sonnet Or the Elizabethan Sonnet

  
Simple question was asked but they fumble;
What are you going to do with your life?
Most of them babble, to speak they struggle;
Appears they don't know how to handle strife.

Don't have idea for their future day
lost their direction that shows confusion.
Answer to question is simple if they
apply their minds, there can't be illusion.

It's to

English Sonnet

DEEDS

Along life's way there are the little cells,
inside of which are lives in parallel,
the walls are windowless so no-one sees
therein if hearts are warm or cold diseased.
The island of the home and of the man,
small enclaves set upon an oceans span
where living is dim seen amongst the waves,
close as your hand, far away as the

English Sonnet For Riamichelle

@riamichelle

Picture perfect! Paint the perfect picture,
Pictured as my mind defines true beauty.
PERFECTION posted permanent fixtures,
Providing this POET with his duty.
Premature appreciation? NEVER!
Pretty MISS riamichelle reserved it,
Purposely presenting us with clever
Perceptions of herself; SHE deserved it!
Please accept this ode, with an open heart,
Personifying your pleasurable
Presence. Your beauty is state of the art;
Poetically unmeasurable!
People, position yourselves, as

Unappreciating 11-20-2012 Acrostic-English Sonnet

Unwilling to trade her time for my rhymes?
Needless to say, this is never the way
Any Poet earns a flirtaceous dime,
Paid whenever efforts are made each day.
Perhaps this task could be too much to ask
Right now. How much time does it take to make
Efforts? Escort sadness behind my mask,
Creating a debating heart that breaks.
Insensitive or misunderstood

Disappointment Acrostic English Sonnet

Destiny made a way out of my reach,
Instead of welcoming with open arms
Spread wide. To each his own! On my own, each
And every day, I did life no harm.
Priorities, other than me, came first,
Prior to closing my eyes and dreaming
Of better days. But, bad days made the worst
Inceptions; Days and nights double teaming.
Nothing prepared me

Ashley Williams English Sonnet

Ashley William has become my new muse,
Since she has inspired me with her charm,
Her beauty, and her wit, which help me use
Lustfull images that could do no harm.
Eventually, I will warm her heart,
Yearning for her to approve my advance
With one of her own, thus playing her part,
In a game we are playing at a glance.
Let

The Scottish One (English Sonnet)

I bid welcome at this, our magic hour
as we create the witch’s potent brew,
Macbeth is yearning for a kingly pow’r
a plot of murder, deeds so foul construe.

From the shadows he came into the cave
when witch’s chant the secrets to the night
thrice venom portrayed visions from the grave,
as aged Crones were faded out of sight.

Beware Macbeth,

The End (Atypical English Sonnet With Abba Rhyme Scheme)

For months our sun has hovered overhead
To crack the barren earth across its land.
The streams run dry, no summer buds expand,
No desert death has ever been so dead.

No haven safe as place where souls can run
Since truth, in brutal slumber, woke and found
A final fury tightly wound around
Each ember edifice of dying sun.

Malignant flaws turn

The Black Hound of Destiny (English Sonnet In Tetrameter)

As darkness takes our souls to hell
what has become of pleasant dreams
when death has tolled its final bell
no one remains to hear the screams.

Gwyllgi calls, the end is near
as demons dance across the land
their laughter chills a heart with fear
for fate has shown her evil hand.

Awash with blood to purify
the world of Man's eternal rage

A Forgotten Résumé (English Sonnet)

The sun is sinking into seas of gold
as lovers sit and talk of used to be's
carafes of wine as stories are retold
and laughter sparkles on a dusky breeze.
A glance recalls the kiss of yesterday
how passion burned beneath her silky skin
as love revealed a forgotten résumé,
desire and hunger linger deep within.
As lovers gaze across the empty

Premium MemberMy Final Prison (English Sonnet)

I awake to the dawn of a new day
I wonder what this day will bring to me
I reckon I should start off with a prayer
I feel as empty as my barren tree

I’m drifting back through the years of my past
I don’t know what I’m hoping to find
Perhaps something that I missed long ago
That is secretly

A Prisoner No More-An English Sonnet

Whispered sighs cause my lonesome soul to soar
Released, it is distressed by stormy seas
Tattooed lonely secrets my dead heart bore
Forlorn harbor has brought me to my knees

Distant window my weathered eyes have spied
Through clear glass your beauty is seen within
Raging sea surrounding me now has died
Can you embrace then cast away my sin?

Silhouette construes such

Beneath Rough Hands-An English Sonnet

Distain, dripping now, from lying forked tongue
Transcending eyes upon shattered back door
Your poisonous breath has filled your black lung
My skin, silky beneath rough hands, has tore

I beg, freedom from bleak endless suffering
How your hands fit perfectly ‘round my neck
My mere flesh no longer is buffering
Your dark, hysterical, heated mad trek

My soul never was yours for
