Michael,

Another very current poem from you, this time in the wonderful form of a sonnet, which you knew would always have me running towards you with arms outspread!

The clock may have a frosty face so cold;

Will not the poet’s hands still tell the time?

^^

I love these two lines.

Well done -now it's my turn, lol

Mr D, you always seem to make these seem so easy and I guess with time and looking at those videos (I haven't had chance yet) I too will be able to write something as good as this and everyone else who has written such a great one. I must also say that it's like a work of art, I like the line separation and I can see why you'd like to be able to add these kinds of things on properly.
1/ I like this as it reminds me of Shakespeares sonnet 18. I feel that no matter how old a rhyme is and even if it doesn't rhyme that if the message speaks clearly and loudly that it will stay around for some time a little like this page, right? If we have old and new the site and the poetry will live on within it and we will have a sanctuary to come to where no one really knows us unless they want to. It may feel a little frosty around here (for now) but it'll thaw, I hope.
2/ I like this and how it's separated kind of like bullet points. We can never recapture what is lost but we can continue on in life etc and make it better in time. With this ever changing weather the summers heat has been forgotten but the future will soon be bright again and we will once again get used to the changes that have been made. I remember back to when I came back with an new account and things had changed it put me off but not this time because I like it here and the people are pretty awesome too.
3/ This is my favourite part and to me it says despite changes we are still the same old site with the same great people within it but we will have to see through the change and come out the other end smelling of roses.
Couplet/ As soon as I saw cream I though oh ice cream, summer lol and I like both. Anyway I think once we have come through winter and spring everyone is a winner. I'm probably way off the make but my that's my interpretation.
Take care,
Em
2000 words exceeded, grr!!

Michael.....you killed this Sonnet (i'm still to write one yet), I really love your word choice in this but your phrasing is spot on, i'm very fond of what I like to refer to as "Questioning Poems" those that pose direct questions and as you read them you either answer them as you read or sit there going "oh yeah!" this is a prime example!

Also,

"If heat from summer’s past is now forgot,

: : How will the future sing our fav’rite songs?"

^^^^^^^^^

Awesomeness.

all the best

Ben.

I read"cream" and now I'm hungry.

Michael, what beautiful wording in this poem. I really loved it and also the questions.
I feel the poets will always be the ones 'telling the time'.

Well done!

(((hugs))) xxx

Beautiful sonnet... I love sonnets but still can't write one. This is awesome
