Sonnet 2

I wish I may be struck with such sweet awe
That in my mind inspired creation shake
And stir, arise and long to flee the door
Which bars the brain from thoughts that may awake.
I hope for winds to whisper wondrous words
To me, to end my writings now so dull
And melodies, to flitter ‘round like birds
And live on earth, escaping my vague skull.
I ever wish that in this solemn state
I may begin to hear a sweeter tune
Than even hands and minds divine create;
To be my muse, as sunshine is to June.
Inspiration heaven sent I need
For my creativity to feed.

    I wish a sweeter tune be mine and enter windows bound and tied...and be the bird that soars to earth and sees the image that you write.

    okay okay

    Excellent exercise. Language not so stilted as is common with most mad sonneteers. Yes, theme is trite and predictable, but still handled well.

      well thankyou. i dont write sonnets really - this was my second attempt at one. i completely agree that the subject matter is a bit cliched, but i honestly had nothing to write about and just wanted to test out writing in sonnet form lol!
      thanks again for commenting honestly
