Love Sonnet 107
Among the lovely things which strayed my way,
As such similitude I oft expect
To brighten up my very gloomy day;
As though the gleams which must presage the dawn,
Or scent that wafts downwind from where you are,
They hint of you, to come, my doubts withdrawn,
Such signs would augur more than any star;
So come in flesh, much more than spirit mist,
With form to touch, and loving arms to hold,
To change the dreams of which my years consist,
Which caused me all the emptiness untold;
.......To delineate the times most lovers miss,
.......A thousand dreams can't beat a single kiss.
...To delineate the times that lovers miss,
...A thousand dreams can't beat a single kiss.

A semblance to your aspect, I detect
Among the lovely things which strayed my way,
As such similitude I oft expect
Would brighten up my very gloomy day;
"To" is better changed to "Would"
Thanks

One feels like a duck, splashing around in all this wet. And when one feels like a duck, one is happy!

Oh, that's too bad. Shakespeare has long been dead. You have to only make do with what is available, the not so perfect iambic pentameter.nicole-adrianne wrote: ↑13 Oct 2019, 21:30 Beautiful capture of pining for a specific love. Also, I'm a sucker for iambic pentameter. Lovely!

Thanks. That means so much to me. That's how poetry is supposed to be. One poet says, "Poetry hides what it seeks, like a bride."Nisha Ward wrote: ↑14 Oct 2019, 09:31 I really liked the flow of this. There's pining but also a warmth to it, like a kind of...I can't pin it down just right and I may be completely wrong but it sounds more like missing a current lover than pining for a love that never happened? I don't know. It's really very sweet.

You know, this sonnet is one good alibi to "one-oh-seven (107) a kiss" from a long missed acquaintance when you meet again.Samwisekoop wrote: ↑26 May 2020, 20:18ReyvrexQuestor Reyes wrote: ↑26 May 2020, 19:48Aha!

Yes, definitely! I bet lots of people will relate to this sonnet during quarantine!
