Seraph (Sonnet)

Shakerite

 

 

Oh Seraph loving celestial being

Through clouds you tiptoed ,finger playing harp strings

Long and short stroking , affecting my heartstrings

Fine looking maiden with eyes bejewelled

Porcelain skinned , golden trusses i espied

 

(Alas you stole my heart with no thought shown
Ripping shred from shred torn as if your own )


Alive with grace she strode dignity in dance

My heart did pound as i await her advance

Feverish sweat I did perspire should she pass

I caught her eye she welcomed me at last

She slid beside loving with tender blithe

I write this sonnet for you my darling

Oh Seraph loving celestial being

 

thank you

    The turn was difficult but just about got away with it

  • Augustus

    Was not familiar with volta or turn. We learn so much at MPS. As I interpret the turn, a moment of grace, or from one thought to another and then apply that to your sonnet I believe you were successful. From angels and heartstrings ant celestial things suddenly there was a heart ripped to shreds. Mission accomplished. Nice rhyme and meter. Well done.
