Shakespearean Sonnet.

The moment that our hearts so kindly met,
You touched my soul just like a gentle song.
Soft spoken words of yours I can’t forget,
Sweet memory to last a lifetime long.

If I could write for you a single tune,
All dressed in blue reflective shining light,
I’d wrap it in the myst’ry of the moon,
Sung sweetly in the beauty of the night.

If you should ever feel lost or alone,
Please don’t forget that you can count on me.
The angel on your shoulder guide you home,
Because that’s where a friend should always be.

My dear sweet one for you I’ll always pray.
One candle in the dark I’ll light your way.

—Michele Cameron Drew

Wonderful to see a “proper” sonnet at last. I particularly liked the evocative imagery if the second stanza. Very well done.

Michele,

What a beautifully penned Shakespearean Sonnet. I have one penned. Should get myself into writing more of them. Well done. Keep up with the great work. Keep on penning. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful and creative talents with us. We all truly appreciate it.
