To Love Winter

A Shakespearean sonnet.

That I could learn to love a Winter's day
And kiss it's lips before they start to melt
To put the barrel of the gun away
To pull the thorns, to play the cards we're dealt.
I watch the frosty morning thaw the night
And wonder if you see the glist'ning dew
To shield our eyes from daylight burning bright
To grasp Time's hands to liquify with you.
O eagle in the Western sky, dive low!
Stretch out your wings and teach us how to fly
The feathered head can feel the Aether glow
And beat it's wings to drown in azure sky.
I grasp your arms to warm the Winter cold
Harden as one, a clear and icy mold.

I love the grip on your rhythm of the poem. How beautifully you've distilled the words into the paper from the depth of your beautiful heart which get opened up to the extent of the Crown of an angel. I love the way you work and expresses the feelings of an angelic heart into the words.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you again. I aimed to write the poem in iambic pentameter because I feel that it has that rhythmic quality and am pleased that you found it successful!

Good rhythm, flow, and tones...

Thank you. I attempted to write it in iambic pentameter, which lent itself at times!

I picked up on that with "glist'ning"

Love the sonnet Tanisha.
Last two lines are my favorite.
