A Sonnet Attempt

Rozina

 

            The English Rose

The English Rose is known to all

Her loveliness and gentle grace

She sits in splendour to enthrall

Her skin so soft her scent a trace

 

In gardens here and far beyond

The English Rose looks like a queen

The rose, the land, they have a bond

She grows so fair and so serene

 

The lad in love he drifts on by

He looks with longing at the Rose

He holds his own and gives a sigh

This beauty with her many beaus

 

Ah Rose dear Rose you're so divine

I dream and wish that you are mine.

I googled sonnets after reading the beautiful poems by Robert and Teddy. I am trying to write different types of poems by reading those by MPS poets.

          although I have never been tempted to try & craft one myself, I have a reasonable understanding of their composition & can appreciate not only their crafting and beauty .. but appreciate a good one when I see/read one .. and this Roz is a very fine example .. it gets my vote ............

            Thank you Neville. I am attempting various styles gradually as I read and learn about them at this site.

              This was a lovely poem Rozina. I find writing in fixed forms a little oppressing πŸ˜… so that's why I stick with free verse for most of my writing but this was a marvel. Kudos to you! πŸ’–

              • Rozina

                Thank you. Opposite for me. I have tried free verse but it looks unreal and I’m too embarrassed to put it up! Will keep on trying. It’s interesting though how the brain connections work!

                You are officially a Sonneter now.
                My love is like a red, red rose.
                She drank the wine, and is now comatose.

                • Rozina

                  Hahaha thank you.
                  Your stories are still the best Paul
                  But they always seem so very tall!
