Talents

Talents                 by Sami Khalil

An English sonnet…

 

Whose talents should I paint with golden smiles

Noteworthy still and in truncated wit

Born of ease hands, prized voice and wondrous styles

Teeming ‘Masters’ whose sole wills seldom quit.

 

I stand in awe, with caring eyes wondering

Pointing the parts of wholes second to none

Giving credits fellows earned in suffering

Familiar faces touching the skies when done.

 

Oh, how blessed having their pellucid lights

Worthy of all respect and grateful states

Carrying the mantle, climbing such heights

Where rare people and moments do have weights.

 

Flit not away your time, neither talents

Casting failures… akin to lost students.

Oh this reminds me of and could be written about a very special friend of mine.

She is multi-talented, so humble and beautiful....a real gem who makes the world just a little better than it is. Your talent for sonnets simply amazes me.
If I could write these, maybe I would REALLY be a poet....and not a wanna be poet.

Wow! You are one of those masters sir. You are very humble. It amazes me how people can have multi-talets. They make the world a better place as you say. They become symbols and icons. Thank you kindly sir Jacob for all you say and do.

Note: Maybe you can honor her with a poem not mentioning names if you like.

Another polished gem Sami, well done you, Sir Sonnet. Yes we all have our sights on our hero’s, heroines, they set the standards for us to strive to.

Brilliant piece. I am right there with you in the presence of greatness - overwhelmed and awestruck.
