Romancing With Lovers And Liars {Shadow Sonnet}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Aug 14, 2007


Romance me with love and then a few lies.
We'll sing 'til 'morrow shows its lucid light.
We will beckon close and we will advise;
"Alright, we won't live;" "It'll be alright."

We've learned to improve and the stakes are high,
Yet those colors are growing darker still.
Tell me, what were you going to imply?
"Fulfill? We've a prophecy to fulfill."

The waves are bashing the center isle,
And those tidal's are growing a bit too high;
The wedding's are crashing all the while;
"Why dance? We must always learn to ask why."

Oh, gorgeous, gorgeous, can't you hear me breathe?
The trumpets sounds high above our shoulders,
God loves lovers and liars, we agree,
"I swear I'll get better when I'm older."

The Shadow Sonnet was created by Amera M. Andersen, may be written in any sonnet style.
The Shadow takes place at the beginning and ending of each line as the words are identical or
homophonic. Since all poetry was originally meant to be sung or recited out loud, homophonic
words are acceptable, these are words that sound alike such as �see and sea�. (Rules: 14 lines,
9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit; iambic pentameter is not
necessary.)

    Now this piece I must say was quite the unique read. The word choice as always upto your standards but are always unique and hold great emotions which you portray deeply into your poetry. The last line was great that to me was truely the best part. You ended this the exact same way as you started it, strong. Overall I enjoyed this read and found the style to be different yet enjoyable. Well done on this. 5/5 ~mel
