SONNET PALM TREE

As an avid and consistent All-Things-Shakespeare lover, I read sonnets all the time. I wrote a sonnet once for a school assignment. However, because of my avid and consistent love for All-Things-Dr Seuss, I leaned more in the direction of poetry that rhymes. It’s the rhythm I enjoy.

This was the first sonnet I wrote since the age of 16. It was for a poetry competition, inspired by an Island Boy Love Affair. And don’t be fooled, there’s a rhythm to sonnet poetry too… Something I wouldn’t have known without expanding my horizon.

SONNET PALM TREE

My heart has flown away with your free soul

A meet-cute moment in the summer sun

The ocean and the sunset in control

Moved by your essence not as two but one

Your eyes a light portal that my heart craves

A tall palm tree standing strong in my view

I rest on your shores, I bathe in your waves

The warmth from your touch, a blessing from you

Alas! The seasons change – time unending

Yet never will your summer kiss leave me

The depth of unknown ocean expanding

A bottled message floating in the sea

Leave me not without your embrace this night

The summer breeze moves as my heart takes flight
