Sonnet: A Sunny Day At The Beach (1)

Don't get your hopes up too high . . .

I remembered it as a sunny day out,
When wind shared a tryst with sea and clouds,
Without so much as a thought, my heart went South,
Though like the dangling fruits, it has weight untowed,

And though it was just over noon,
The moon has gone over heads, up so high,
It seemed my break was gonna be over soon,
Such was a harsh standard to live by,

Tired, but I dared not whisper to the wind,
She was already occupied with her lovers, as I remarked,
Under tropical shades, I sat in a position loners would find much akin,
Loveless, and disappointed, my poetic mind has failed to find new sparks,

So I wished myself to be left alone by the sand,
Watching the scenery changes without any thoughts or plans.

Author's Note

*Notes (you may dismiss this):
I apologized if I have seemed to neglect the usual quality of my works or the contents I may have been presenting. Mainly, I fear that my unusual works such as the 百合 Senryu, or those of the similar nature may have garnered a dislike to my works in general, and even if that is the case, I wish to continue writing them as it is my wish to do so and they are also as important to me as the other works I make, and I hope you may support my decision to do so. That is all, thank you for coming by, and I wish you to have a nice day ~ !

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

A nice Shakespearean sonnet here. The wind does get around, meets a lot of lovers. We mortals, alas, must sometimes spend our beach days alone.

Thank you for paying a visit to my work, author John the Baptist. And perhaps, lonesome days aren't so bad if we have attentive eyes for seeking enjoyment in leisure.
