Lost Rendezvous

Lost Rendezvous – My Valiant Knight

My valiant knight I had to see. I ran
into the woods for one last rendezvous.
November, unpredictable though, can
wreak melancholy, for a strong wind blew!
All sunlight vanished; it grew deathly cold.
And in the gloaming, crystal sky became
as ash! To think this day that promised gold
brought only misery, yet still the flame 
of passion for the man I loved still burned
as limbs of frosted trees like hoary men
lashed out at me. The knight for whom I yearned
I could not find. I’d not see him again.

Great pathos floods my soul forevermore.
My valiant knight was later killed in war.

John lawless Date: 8/17/2017 10:39:00 AM Yikes!!! and eight word challenge done in the ever challenging sonnet form....a double steal....(every time I read or hear the word "gloaming" I hear bag pipes and see burly men dancing in kilts)
scott thirtyseven Date: 8/17/2017 8:27:00 AM Nice mournful resonance. And most impressively you rhymed rendezvous with blew. Best of luck in the contest.

Russell Sivey Date: 8/17/2017 5:15:00 AM This is a special Sonnet Andrea! But are you missing a line? Aren't there supposed to be 14 lines in a Sonnet? Just checking for ya my friend! But I do love what you have come up with right here, It is such a wondrous poem, So grandiose! I really enjoyed reading it this morning, as you posted this late last night! Great Work!!
Victor Buhagiar Date: 8/17/2017 4:05:00 AM Yesterday I decided to read Cinder Girl just to see how this is always first in the list. I was not disappointed. Neither is this sonnet today disappointing. Well written and sure to finish up high. Hugs//Victor
Poet Ouroboros Date: 8/17/2017 1:07:00 AM Tough assignment but you managed to come up with a sonnet, well done
