Poet to Poet

Poet to Poet

I think of you in the dark of night,
finding the love in the words I give you.
Remember the day you came into view,
when the sonnet you penned, came into sight.
Enamored before the daybreak light,
your words were so precious, so very true.
I savored each moment each verse so new.
Penned is your heart, in the poems that you write.


So here by the sea, we walk hand in hand,
near the ocean of dreams with clarity.
Reciting our poems on the moonlit sand,
you’re the Architect of reality.
You opened my mind and made it expand.
A man of great strength and security.

 

 

Author notes

For AP poet; “Titus”, master poet.

Petrarchan Sonnet
The Italian sonnet is divided into two sections by two different groups of rhyming sounds. The first 8 lines is called the octave and rhymes: abbaabba
The Volta occurs at L9
The remaining 6 lines is called the sestet and can have either two or three rhyming sounds, arranged in a variety of ways:

c d c d c d
c d d c d c
c d e c d e
c d e c e d
c d c e d c

The exact pattern of sestet rhymes (unlike the octave pattern) is flexible. In strict practice, the one thing that is to be avoided in the sestet is ending with a couplet (dd or ee), as this was never permitted in Italy, and Petrarch himself (supposedly) never used a couplet ending; in actual practice, sestets are sometimes ended with couplets

In a list

    Even without the label, "For Titus", this is a sonnet that anyone would eagerly take for the privelege it gives me personally. It's as if you have given someone literary skills somehow and if I have then of course, that takes credence in all and sundry of thought. This piece is perfected to the slepndour of classics and the strength you show, (if that is mine), is showed in much strength as is the personality of the writer. Loved it,
