with many perspectives about life, decide

Death drops shutters whilst life sinks in a pit, 
The day looks dull, dark clouds when hides the sun, 
Night gets moonless, cloudy and stars are no...

Ceraunophiliac - a Suzette Sonnet

...In awe, I welcome Thor with utmost glee.
The powerful celestial force set free
amongst the hills and over the coarse scree. 
The winds that whip and slink —  the hailstones loudly clink.
Flashes ...

Ineffable Mysteries - a Suzette Sonnet

Against our woes, we rail — the urgency to bail.

'poetry' Pinged Me

...'Poetry' pinged me
  I shiver and cringe
