Love Will Warm the Heart

A Shakespearean sonnet.

Love Will Warm The Heart

 

The night is cold and frost clings to the trees.

It shines like diamonds in the pale moonlight.

Fading flowers send up their silent pleas,

And yet, their dying petals become white.

 

Snow begins to softly fall to the ground,

It disguises what has shriveled and died.

Will these once beautiful blossoms be found?

Or will their tragic tales forever hide?

 

Sorrow has frozen these two hearts also.

What was once warm, the cold has now destroyed,

And soon there will be none that even know,

What occupied this space before the void.

 

But tender love, will always warm the heart,

And it can mend what has been torn apart.

 

 

Author's Note

I had to write a sonnet for school, so this my attempt at Shakespearean sonnet. I hope you all like it.

A very 'professional' piece of work. I think you have followed all the rules of a sonnet and the sentiment in it is beautiful I like the simile (shines like diamonds) You use quite a lot of adjectives ... perhaps you could use a simile instead? But the poem is really lovely.

Thank you and I will take you words into consideration.

It's good... It's VERY good... I've never taken a poetry course and after reading this... Maybe I should...

As I was reading this, I was wondering, would she have more stuff like this? Hopefully you do, because I really enjoyed it!
I'm a tad late, but anyway, keep on the good work!

[Emma]

Thank you. :)

I really like the transition from the frozen flowers to the frozen hearts. Well done, i'm sure you're gonna get a good grade.
