Mooncalf
( a Sonnet )
The days are drifting by without me here,
Though not for trying hard and do I care.
A time ago it all seemed very clear,
Until I found I’m really over there.
I sent myself a card “wish you were here”,
By then it had returned “no one at home”.
To look inside, to see me disappear,
I ponder what for me’s the great unknown.
I spend away the reasons in a dream,
To toil on end at nothing, foolishly.
So unaware that I’m not what I seem,
As air is life and shade is from a tree.
To ne’er recall what do I have to fret,
I think I know I should but I forget.

Re: Re. Mooncalf
Thank you for stopping by to read. And that’s why for commenters I haven’t requested critiques on the poem’s mechanics. Instead, I appreciate a reader’s thoughts about the way my write speaks to you, because that’s always case-by-case. And I learn from what you think in that respect. So let’s just say: what if I hadn’t marked the poem as a Sonnet, how would you respond?💁🏻♀️

Referring to the difficulty of writing a sonnet ... I am so envious ... have tried ... and am still trying to write one ...

Re: Re. Mooncalf
Oh... I’m terribly sorry I didn’t pick up on that, and thank you for returning to help me to my feet. But I do feel fortunate that eventually I learned, and now it’s a joy to write the form.

Re. Mooncalf
And there is the quiet contemplative jade, the poet, the voice, slow, calm - words like the soft breeze of a summer sunset...
Wonderful, jade
Wonderful, jade
