Challenge
Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.
Ephemeral Love ☀
In the mysterious dark she takes the sky
as I blur into colors on the horizon
and on the stars she doth lie
her eternal beauty mesmerizing
Wishing we could share what’s ours
I reach up on the wings of day
and she floats below on her stars
of dazzling silver grey
I wait for the ephemeral night
where we can come to meet
we drift together in an embrace of light
and a kiss so sweet
as the moment fades we return to our domains of night and day,
but ‘I love you’ is the whispered words I still hear her say.
