Promenade, for lovedly

To watch the lilt of dancing azure bells,
bright sunlight shining from the golden cups;
while purple plumage ornaments green dells,
I pass by mottled moor hens and taupe tups.
Down where a bashful hind in twilight sups,
great rowans slowly swaying in the breeze;
an otter splashes, playing with her pups,
protected by white clouds of phantom trees.

As spirits ebb is lifted by degrees,
oppressive urban forces vaporise;
the leaden, drab existence fleetly flees.
My soul and simple nature harmonise.

A wilderness, or heaven’s anteroom?
God’s breath of life extant in every bloom.

Love the imagery, the language used, the alliteration and consonance throughout. All work hand in hand to creat such an elegant piece.
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure Lovedly will be happy with it .

Dear lady, come in several different guises. Google sonnet forms and see for yourself. Apart from the four basic types there are always variations to play with. Just enjoy them.

to know me..

Hello friends, I have come after 400 years
to celebrate my birthday with all of you
hold back your loosely flowing tears
I have brought only my good wishes true

You think of me daily everyday without fail
you read all my written tales that's what all say
I turn in my grave every day, Macbeth you'll derail
hold your breath mine is turning sour since years away.

Then you dare to compose a poem about me
a sonnet that too 'tis no blasphemy, nor twill
ever be, if I can read all about thee
but hope friends of olden days are not here to kill

Yes I dare come sans all, as I did say sans, yes
today is the day to show you myself, sans, I guess.

I made little sense out of your last comment except to guess that despite the feminine name you go by, you are indeed masculine and something incoherent about Shakespeare so here is something Shakespearian.

Oh that in truth I might report to thee
a love that swells and rages like the sea.
Forsooth I state this missive as a plea,
that thou not turn thy face away from me.

A noble spirit takes not any glee
in knowing that within it holds a key;
this wounded heart can never now be free
excepting by the words of thy decree.

Oh let it be, that I from thee might flee
not like a bee, that darts beneath a tree
too blind to see, who bends upon one knee
to pay his fee; annoying little flea!

My ramble run, the end is all agley,
mayhap I should enquire dost thou agree?

Who are you? This is my first foray into your poetry. Joining three weeks ago would have put you in the middle of my recovery from quadruple bypass surgery, so I have a doctor's signed note for why I'm late reading your work.
I will see you at your other posts.
This is brilliant. Language use, meter control, alliterations, other rhyme structure and subject matter are all superlative. If I could criticize something and thereby improve the work I would, but I wouldn't touch a thing.
See you on your other poems.

At three o’clock, malt whisky (ten years old),
Napoleon brandy follows (warm and gentle),
to ease away concern a mind may hold,
about the planned assault upon “God’s temple.”

An apogee to years of aggravation
(a body racked by rampant throbs and aches);
four different ailments blend to cause frustration,
while giddiness, fatigue are nature’s brakes.

What lies ahead, is long and lingering pain,
the road sign-posted, death just round the bend;
no trace of fear but numbness in the brain,
the Reaper nearly welcomed as a friend.

The killer can be cancelled at a stroke,
then other treatments tested over time;
let surgeons try to lift the heavy yoke,
to hesitate prolongs the pantomime.

They pry apart the bars that guard the chest
and cut their way around the beating heart,
then bind with steel a bruised and broken breast
and wheel me out when happy with their part.

There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriasis, or even sinusitis;
but “lords of life” embark with dedication,
perform a double bypass operation.

so nice to see you back
so happy all will be

this new poet
happened to pick me
just like Jess
he wanted to strip me
not knowing who I may be

but hope he will teach me
how to compose a sonnet
on a rose
what else can I suppose
he thinks above
even Joe

may be kind of some chemical ego
