Italian sonnetA Poem by elephantmy attempt at an Italian sonnet
I devour the skin and the meat and plant the seed of the peach The earth softly accepts and blows a sweet kiss I turn over my breath and belly to honor her abyss And the bountiful mother in time will provide fruit from her breach And the soil coughs up worms to turn the earth she has much to teach Like a god the earth grants me a honest wish And as the west blows and the leaves whisp My seed is in her womb becoming the peach
The spring warms my velvet skin and sends me in a spin As I gather up your pecans for the children in the trees I chirp Mother shake your limbs for me a well mannered guest I've planted the seed and devoured the skin with no sin I need you to blow me a kiss just another breeze So she answers me with her fragrent breath from her far off west
