This, O' my lone bounty

A sonnet for the Shakespearean Sonnet contest

This, O’ my lone bounty

By Jack Ivey

 

 

Breathing, I call from the vast o’ my heart

Passion so drenched in the shadows a’ mist

Threaded my dreams o’er of endless depart

Tasting thy lips, none the sweeter I’ve kissed

 

Fabric of a woven fragrance so fine

Bounties of this nature, longing as true

Drunk by the love produced now of the wine

Staggered, harmless I now call out to you

 

Standing O’ stead in thy beauty now born

Waver so slight O’ my sight it doth feed

O’ as the gray skies they bring on the storm

Tempting thy pure vision, wanting and need

 

This, O’ my lone bounty falls from above

Grant me thy heart song and bounty filled love

Read a Sonnet after ages...its good you chose this form..
even as a work of art or a painting...this wud look elegant in a frame on the wall.
Purely romantic and guaranteed to make a woman weak at the knees.
I wish you win!

nice adaptation to the diction... meter is a bit off at some points but otherwise a pretty swell sonnet :)

[Jack...]

Thanks, I found this genre to be challenging to say the least. I will however edit this piece once more to see if I can bring it all together. Thanks for the comments.
