"If the shoe fits, wear it" was NOT my intention, but here you go. L5 was my intention.
Don't Ask Because She Sez I'm Showing Off
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMDCCCLXXX)
How silver droplets hang, poised to avail
In sweet effect from this old railing, hence
Likeas a morsel for the poet's sense
Of sheer perfection as rain trickles, frail
Yet certain, through moist hours white mists prevail
Anon in, girding aught we knew fr'intents
With that mystique whose romance filters thence
Twixt seasons like a balm the soul calls bail.
Oh! I could hug me now for sich treats, poor
As that behaviour, yet the troubles through
These half indulgent hours forbid as t'were
Such joys til how I wrestle. Come, the view
Begs for my pensive watch as all'd bestir
To take me off to highr plains as it'd woo.

"...would NOT smell as sweet--" I allus knew I was a weed.
"...By Any Other Name--"
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMDCCCLXXXII)
Oh, how I wanted Shakespeare's lines t'avail
Enroute to werk, frae Jul'et's speech to thence
His sonnets, how the lies which prosper hence
Don't have a leg to stand on. They'll prevail
For now, but not forever. Puddles trail
Across the blacktop where lunch makes fr'intents
Its plans, their silver mien in sheer suspense
Without an eye for yonder, as I fail.
A cup of steamy soup would be grand, poor
As packing cold pulled pork for lunch. I do
Not know when I was last chilled as it were,
But I am freezing now. Oh me! where to?
Don raincoat and eat all my dindin. Stir
Hope in Thee, LORD, alone. Crack jokes anew.

- Comment from author about the poem: I frankly do not know what on earth my problem is unless it's the age-old PMS, or else I just can't arrive at whatever perspective I am chasing to no avail. I'm literally on my 4th sonnet for today, b not fit for posting and d is likely to follow suit. You didn't really want to know, now did you?

Great write
Aww, thank you so very much!!!
You're welcome
lol now I know you are not showing off, you are the most talented sonneter I've ever known, I just imagine you circling around earth in a space ship whilst writing them, amazing talent, We are the same age by the way although in less than 3 weeks I'm going to be 5O so if PMS is still on our list the human race must keep their distance 🤣 lol
Ah. I'll be 50 the end of November so we're both 1974 babies and only about 6 weeks apart! Thank you so very much! Love you, sweet Teddy!
❤️ fabulous us lol
More fine words, Missy. Very well done. And love the Einaudi too.
Thank you so VERY much, Tom. WNIU introducing me to other artists, I found Einaudi's music too fitting ever since 2015, his piece titled "Run" made for New Year's Day '16, I found too keenly well...at least in my personal life.
Einaudi is just wonderful. I will have to check out Run. My fave so far is Primavera. It gives me goose-bumps.
Ooh! I've several of Einaudi's pieces I cherish. Now we'll need to trade on favorites!
Wow, 😲
powerful penning, 🖋️
