This I Promise You [Shadow Sonnet]

by Pete   Jan 9, 2008


Always and a day, I'd hold you always.
Passed on the others; they'll stay in the past,
Last love i found is the love that will last.
Days without you are days spent in a daze.

Peace in my heart, now you've taken your piece.
Inside I was aching, breaking inside,
Tried not to pressure you, oh how I tried.
Release of my pain's a major release.

Regret to inform you .. I've no regret,
Saw something in you that made my heart soar.
More that I get, I want you, nothing more.
Met my soul mate in the moment we met,

Knew that I'd never need anyone new,
You are my whole life, this I promise you.

*Shadow Sonnet- The Shadow Sonnet 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. Should be 14 lines, 9 or 10 syllables per line. The poem should have a volta or pivit.*

    "Knew that I'd never need anyone new,
    You are my whole life, this I promise you."

    These lines are beautiful. I loved it. Amazing emotion and beautiful fluency. This poem was very moving!

    I don't like rhyming, I think that this poem could sound a lot better with some different more original rhymes that would create unique, powerful atmosphere. Anyway I am not a big fan of typical love poems but I suppose that you expressed honest emotions greatly and the form looks very difficult, I am truly bad with writing formed poetry, so I congrats you on this piece. I still think that if you add some metaphors in this poem you could made it to sounds more powerful. Anyway nice work.

    Very interesting and beautifully writte. I really havent heard of this sort of style before but I really liked this one. The language and vocabulary gives it a certain voice. Also, I dont usually understand poems that dont rhyme (kind of slow =}) but this one wasnt all complex and I understood it perfectly. Perfectly written 5/5
