Sing Aurora Sing

Missing image

Sing Aurora Sing

See the symphony of light o’er the sea.
Softly the agony resends softly.
Free rising orb setting harmony free.
Brightly absorb with a song so brightly.

Aurora  light from morning aurora.
Song of the night is now operas' song.
Flora delight; like blossoms of flora.
Long is the sight with emotions so long.

Rising crescendo with morning rising.
Serene innuendo leaves mind serene.
Surprising opera; light surprising.
Pristine genera of human pristine.

So open your heart let the light sing so.
Know symphony light and your mind will know.

    You've set yourself a true challenge. Sonnets are difficult enough, but adding internal rhyme and the shadow increases the dexterity required. The first couplet in quatrain three works best, I think, taking full advantage of the form while still remaining true to the requirements--the lines not only meet the challenge but fit the logic, imagery, and grammatical structure of the poem.

    This reminds me of a painting that used to hang in my grandfather's house when I was a child. I used to sit and stare at trying to think of words to describe it. When I read this that memory came flooding back to me. So quite obviously the imagery is quite amazing really. Your talent shines through in this poem. I believe you should most definitly win in the contest. This would have to be the best poem I have read on here ever..............and that does mean a lot considering I like many poems. Good job!!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

    i'm so glad i clicked on this one!! a true blending of the sense and the sound. even the title "sing aurora sing" is shadowed! i loved the internal rhyming... it provided a hypnotic touch to it. in fact this poem reminds me of Tennyson's "blow bugle blow". it is that good in terms of its sound. i would definitely want to try it.

    interesting... this is

    a the first that I've seen of this form... I like the repetition - it emphasizes and makes more vivid certain elements and aspects of the piece that might otherwise go unnoticed but now pack a punch....

    very intriguing...

    I've yet to see a form you haven't made look appealing!

      Thank you so much for all the support you give me. The internal rhyme in this piece was a challenge. Your reading my work is one of the reasons I try so hard. To be read by a poet as gifted as you is truly humbling. Thank you. I don't answer all your comments but please know I read and treasure them all.

      Love,
      Amera ♥

    Encore!!! Encore!!! Encore!!!

    I heard the entire symphony as I saw the beauty of aurora lighting up the sea. Magical was this shadow sonnet filled with such sweet and soft imagery. You left me here *SIGHING* with this magnificent piece you penned. I could feel myself sitting at the symphony and as the lights dimmed my blood rushed as I waited. Your elegant verbiage created the crescendo you spoke of as this rose to the top and had me standing to applaud when the music ended. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with all of us and best wishes in the contest. C'est magnifique!!! Love you my friend, Joyce

    This is massive in the scope of what it does. Shadows and internal rhymes... brilliant. I love the metaphor of the vision as a song. Perfectly executed.

    I didn't even notice the internal rhyme until I read the notes, that's how smooth and subtle it is! Cleverness in line 1 using a homophone - I thought of that previously but wasn't sure it was ok (for your contest!). Lovely, lovely, lovely.

    Beautiful write, great flow though I thought the part of flora was a little awkward. Maybe since flor means flower maybe keep one of the lines of flora in there, but use a name of a flower, like blossoms of tulips or blossoms or roses or some other flower. Other than that, I thought this piece was beautiful. Good luck in the contest.

    Well done. I remember seeing your contest for shadow sonnet... interesting form. The internal rhyme works really well with this, and anything with the ocean and sunrise as a backdrop will turn my head. Thank you for your entry and best wishes in the contest.
