Summer Maiden ~ sonnet

Postby Stella » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:38 pm

Image


Where shadows dapple dance ’neath woodland trees
a wild and lovely maiden spreads her gown
that rustles quiet in the summer breeze
‘midst butterfly and moth in thistledown

Her petals lay on silken sheets of green
a perfect boudoir for a lover’s tryst
as bashful bluebells hide away unseen
the blushing maiden soon becomes first kissed

The honey bee hums his undying love
as dainty cowslip hides beneath fern’s skirt
a loving sigh comes from the pink foxglove
who is too shy his feelings to assert

A golden sunset glows ‘neath woodland trees
where now a lady smiles on twilight’s breeze

A summer maiden indeed, beautiful imagery throughout this lovely sonnet, Stella. Love the "Her petals lay on silken sheets of green
a perfect boudoir for a lover’s tryst" absolutely beautiful.

Utilizing such majestic imagery truly elevates this fantastic sonnet, Stella...and comparing such beautiful scenes to that of a maiden "first kissed" is exquisite. A fine gem of a write, and one that should beckon the reader to return to read it again and again, to be sure.

A glorious Sonnet and I knew your muse would return as soon as she could. I feel privileged to bathed with the beauty of your summer images, and I have read it four times, and each time I love its magic more and more thank you my dear friend Stella.
