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

Reviews

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

I appreciate the end rhyme of your poem. Each line is a sequence of thought with its imagery. Well done.

[Jack...]

Thanks you so much

[Adam Whitworth]

nice one, well done. Each line is separate from its neighbours and that gives it a mechanical feel, I would try to have a sentence going through several lines.

[Jack...]

Thanks Adam for reading and commenting

[Richard Man]

This sonnet form and the elisions give this poem a sense of timelessness and a feeling of intense and long lasting love. Enjoyable read.

[Jack...]

Thanks Richard, I appreciate it.

[Margarette]

Wow, I can feel the strong feelings of love flowing out from this poem and I noticed that you used some of the Old English terms that I think made this piece written in the Medieval times. There is a classic display of affections from what I've read. Thanks for sharing!

[Jack...]

I am happy you enjoyed it, thank you so much.
