3rd Sonnet                                  16 Nov 2010

 

Is aught in nature rivals yet my love?

no force or marvel stands might fair compete

not storms from Sea nor light from Hea’n above

march forth so bold, caress near half as sweet.

 

The kiss of Spring each summer grace’ the vine,

with fruit whose nectar wets our lips in bliss,

though centuries refine the headiest wine

she dons a rare bouquet mere wines all miss.

 

Would not Sol’s chariot flaming ‘cross the sky

or Mistress Moon’s romantic light’s mystique

or dancing stars whose millions vault the night

belie this claim, prove her love pale and weak?

 

Though Nature boasts the Sun, Moon, Stars and Sky,

my Love’s eternal light doth yet out-shine!

Oh rikk...this is simply glorious. So romantic and elegant and refined...I had no idea you could write like this..it is truly beautiful from every angle. I think this is what impresses me the most about your writing...your range is so diverse...I wouldn't have had any idea this was your's...to me, that's a great thing. It shows such creativity and talent...to write from so many places other than our limited experiences...(my biggest flaw, btw). This was just exquisite rikk...no idea how I missed it!

oh incredible :) I love sonnets and this one is true to form and I really love the last two lines.

an age-old comparison, but nowhere near played-out.
solid form, and the classical nature of the imagery is fitting and lovely. 'dancing stars whose millions vault the night' is spencer at his best.

here the classic form is cinched lovely and tight like the corset at a woman's waist~ tantalizing~
