The Poet Man ~ sonnet

[Stella]

Did you know ‘twas your vellum page stole me
amidst the beauty of your written word?
I swooned at every line ‘bout moon and sea
and every verse sang sweetly like a bird.

In pleasing ways you took me to your soul
and filled my mind with images of love
they reached inside and then you softly stole
my heart away led by your gentle glove.

With pen and ink you charmed this lady fair
and page by page each wondrous poem just kissed
her soul and bound it close to always share
the knowing that two souls as one exist.

Oh poet man, you charmed me on that page
such words you wrote my heart to sweet engage

A beautiful write about love that is heartfelt. A well crafted sonnet which I enjoy. Good imagery and descriptives. You paint a lovely picture of romance through the written word by the poet that any reader can appreciate. Flow is good as is the line to line transition and breaks. Very nice rhythm. Rhyme is good. Perfect masculine end line rhyme that is executed very well in this piece. Lovely depth of feeling. Warm and adoring. Good word choice. Well penned and a much enjoyed read. Write on.

Thinning lovely sonnet. I love how you portray a personal connection between the poet and, you, the reader. Very moving.

Beautiful poem Stella, both in imagery and execution a pleasure to read. It isn't hard to fall in love with the words of a poet, it's one of the closest things to beauty and meaning, and those words, so often reflect the depths and goodness in the writer. A poem of true Kindred spirits.
