(sonnet attempt #XII)
XII
A helpless captive in the dungeon deep
In vain I shed my tears and think to cry,
For none can hear my pleas, condemned to die.
My happy career upon the stage weep
I now to lose. How gaily did I leap!
A sprite, a fancy spry, a butterfly,
A timid, merry ingenue was I,
That gliding across the world's stage did sweep
A' scattering stardust, wafting a sweet scent
Of hope, and life, and light, and love....a breath
Of fresher air? yet powerless to save
Me when I fell. My lovers and my friends....
Where are they now? In solitude my death
Upon me presses. Succor vainly I crave.

I'm not laughing... I would of lent a helping hand to any poet... great poem... you're like Shakespear but as a woman... You and your poems are GREAT and I always look forward to the next.
Oh, but I suppose I sarcastically do laugh....Thanks for the kind thought, seriously. Now, hahaha, you know a little of what I was doing on Christmas Eve.
Very well written, as for its sentiments I'm not certain I agree. If you read my Love, Space, Stars you'll see that was composed for you. Great that you are back.
Thanks for the welcome back and your favourable vote.....considering the sentiments, seriously, realize that no one here rescued me or even offered to. I liked your Love, Space, Stars....thanks so much for composing it for me, very seriously.
Your sonnet really reminds of shakespeare.You are really a gifted poet
Thank you very much. The interesting thing is it is not Shakespearian, it is in the Italian/Petrarchan form...or supposed to be. Thanks alot for your vote of confidence.
hey cheeky...glad you're back with a gem...
the poem is much deeper than your internet problem tho...its beautiful..i really like it..
Thanks alot for welcoming me back and for your perspective....I am glad it is more usable than just for my little troubles.
