She comes to her on pallid misted wings
Floating gracefully in dawn’s cobalt sky
With magical voice she tenderly sings
Touching with elegance, she breathes a sigh.
Mystifying spirit dances about
Legs pirouette sending dress in a twirl
She is hers for the day without a doubt
Connected as one by headpiece of pearl.
Oh, stunning forest supporting such love
Mighty oaks and mortals sharing the sun
Sending life-giving spirits from above
Standing tall, touching, uniting as one.
Breeze and a whisper call in nature’s gift
No sooner she came, away she will drift.

I have often found succor and serenity waiting within the woods for those who seek a genuine peace. When camping, it seems too many want to get away from it all, yet bring most of it with them, as well. I'd rather hear the music of the wind or of the flowing river currents than to hear those mechanical remnants of society's creations. Congratulations on winning the many various trophies with this piece. Good luck in the contest, Poet.

Well....
...... Crafted Sonnet here.... I fing them hard to create so I bend the rules a bit and just use the rhyming scheme, but you knocked this one home!
-
A very lovely sonnet indeed Well written in just well pure lovely I enjoyed this music very much.
-
This is very beautiful; it flows so well together. Thank-you very much for entering this piece into my contest.
Good luck.
-
Well, this IS, as you say, a sonnet... But NOT a Shakespearean one, since the Shakespearean form requires iambic rhythm, and this poem has a basically dactylic/anapaestic rhythm. So... not for this competition, alas... though it will surely do well elsewhere.
-
Beautiful! I'm sorry I missed this poem before. Penned in my favorite form you have created a fantacy that is a pure joy to recite. Bravo!
Love,
Amera♥ -

Mystifying spirit dances about

Great write. i enjoyed this one
Thank you for putting your other
poems in your AN
Thanks for entering and good luck -
I love rhyme when it is done well, and this is done well. I have no technical criticism. What it would come down to in judgment is personal preference though: this theme/subject isn't my cup of tea. Regardless, this is very good (from a technical and general point of view), in my opinion, and I want you to know that.

Interesting, airy poem. Thank you for entering it in my contest.

Great Job...
this is very good, and I can see how it ties in with the picture. Also, the rhyming is very good, and it isn't choppy like some other rhyming poets.
5 stars, and I can't wait to read more from you!!! <3
-
I just love it when the poem is more magical than the picture used to inspire it. Needless to say that sonnets are my favorite form and when one is this beautiful... well, that's what poetry is all about.
Love,
Amera♥
