Sonnet. Poems - Poems about Sonnet.

I remember those summers as a boy, When the sun shone down from morning till night. That sun on our backs brought us so much joy And we laughed at those who’s skin was still white. We knew nothing back then of UV rays, As we lay on the beach by the ocean. Sometimes we burnt on the hottest of...

TEXAS SUMMER'S EMBRACE Poem written for Summer Sonnets Poetry Contest, XF Lacasse, sponsor Beneath Texas skies, wildflowers bend and sway. Soft zephyrs tease the hair around my face. There’s a hush at noon--a humid, lazy day. Cicadas hum their songs in summer’s embrace. The sky, a canvas painted azure bright, With cotton candy clouds drifting by, soft and slow. Evening’s glow, a...

Deceive not the heart or feed it intent, loves decay has fired hearts arrows now bent the rich clay awaits where all angels tread the Devil waits too signing souls of the dead. In mirrors of self, reflect on one's heart release pangs of doubt, heaven plays her part the answer is love, the question is why? honour the loves heart...

Awakened! I returned a stream in Spring to flow and grow on nature’s snowmelt milk. I came to be of earth and sky (...a fling), my sire a winter storm. Like liquid silk emerging, I was born; a water-child. Between two banks I nestled with my dreams and bloomed a gAnGLy creek ‘til solstice. Wild I played— not meek but sleek....

look at the world as an inverted tree the myriad forms here branches and leaves in heaven are the roots which we don’t see wondrous is the magic God Himself weaves to find out who we are, we must reboot detached from outcomes, mode embrace-release that thus doing nothing, we reach the root transformed as love and light when desires cease in...

Impossible beauty, summer in swell, Fragrance aflowing and fluttering around; Though now, I admit, I don’t see it well, I know – my ears! – all the birds by their sound. Heaven surrounds me, but only for now; Howling the winds that shall crash on my head; Ripping the flowers that live on the bough, Never see summer return in its stead. Perhaps...

Come out of the darkness, stand in the light. Speak from your heart and give us insight. Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey. Saying you care and you’ll give us your money. Offer instead, a small thread of hope, A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope. Shore up our borders, build a great wall, Help the murder and theft...

Pen prepares its blood with quiet intent, Flowing with words that embrace no cliche; Its spirit starts to pump the heart's content, Beginning with inner insights to say. The ink's voice shouts with neither sound nor noise, Creating calmness inside the bold mind; The soul's silent scream still seems its best choice, For the right meanings hiding there to find. Shrouded...

Burnished blue night-sky of a summer’s day, dotted with chatoyant stars, twinkling bright, her luminous moon stealing the sunray, pulchritudinous night, a heart’s delight, songs of cicadas’ echo through the night, their musical strains cradle and caress, the clear summer night under the moonlight, chirping among the dancing forest-sprite, midnight mystique moonbeams, flicker, glimmer, shining through the pearly dewy-droplets, kissing the night-blooms with...

Tropical Summers, where the fruit is fresh And sweat drips heavily upon the sand Heat of the Summer clings tight to the flesh When bodies lie on the sand getting tan These days of Summer are dressed in wonder As I sit cool in the shade of a palm Where the sea breeze moves fronds, I sit under Away from the...

The sun is seen a flaming ball in the sky, Darting down spears of smarting beams. Heat waves from the smoked earth rise high For a drop of water, the thirsty earth screams. The waterlogged lands have long gone dry. The soil is left cracked and parched. Drying crops have made the farmers sigh. The once lush green meadows are lying...

Sitting alone in the sun, I reflect on the past, Days filled with laughter and fun— Oh, how time moves fast. The radiant colours of the light, There's a freshness that sunshine brings, The clock ticks, and everything yields to twilight, While memories soar on summer's wings. The outdoors beckon us, With children...

Days too long for the sun to bite still hard, All trees bring forth leaves that are mostly green, Different hues are what summer fails to preen, With grace, yet with force, summer's hands bombard. Rain may catch even the prepared off guard, Its runoff sweeps paved roads fresh, clear and clean, Its grains and pebbles make the oceans glean, Yet...

The sun rays from above come into play, Causing men and beasts alike look thirsty; They care to stay well-watered every day, And to protect even each plant and tree. People opt for light-colored, loose textile, So they can easily breathe the fresh air; To aid their body contain heat hostile Of the scorching sun that's too tough to bear. Smooth skins apply...
