I stroll along a fragrant country lane
With honeysuckle perfume on the air -
And feathered crooner's warble to revere -
Then cross a golden sea of flowing grain
In empathy - it seems to sense my pain
Of knowing all was done with my affair -
Her empty meaning now the solitaire
She cast away - betrothment all in vain.
But oceans team with many fish to catch
So I must up and hoist another sail
And seek the one that really waits for me,
For soon auspicious breezes will prevail
In guiding forth to find a truer match:
The one to take my hand as wife to be
I was born in Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom. At school, I developed interests in biology, music, art, and creative writing, and went on to university to gain a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, a master’s degree in pharmacology with toxicology, and a master's equivalent in clinical chemistry. I am married with two children and enjoy general reading around science and nature. My poetry covers a wide variety of themes from serious exploration of emotion to light comedy, and I like to experiment with different poem forms, penning works that range from classic metre/rhyming schemes to free-form prose.
This is an example of a sonnet because it has 14 lines and it is also using any type of rhyming scheme. A poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes
I think the poem is talking about life and how there is a bridge that divides a good life from a bad life. On one side there is love in the air, a place where everyone wants to be. On the other side it is suspicious, but that is where the author wants to be.
I chose this picture because there are always to sides of life and it is up to you to choose which life you want.
