Sonnets --and thank you!

If you haven't noticed yet, I've gotten into sonnets. I decided that's my main poetry niche. I've written 13 so far and will post them when I feel they're edited well enough. A little tip for making the reading more meaningful: if you read the last words of each line they either connect the sonnet with a new idea, or they summarize the main idea of the sonnet.

Happy reading --and thanks for spending the time to read and comment :) I love to share, and this is just one way I do so.

Sonnet 9: While softly gazing at the ceiling fan

While softly gazing at the ceiling fan

My glazed eyes ponder one attitude;

 I catch with ears the whispers I would ban,

And hope as quiet whispers they will brood.

I wait silent for what I do not know,

Except that it is inescapable;

My muscles tense like tightly coiled vows

Of flames which strip me raw unbearable.

A knock upon the door awakes my soul,

And pulls me rudely from my reverie;

I float like shadow towards the malign door

But dazed I find the old porch-step lacking.

When looking down I see flowers to prove.

Sweet love was here and left me caught in love.
