Very nice. What I like is this phrase- wine imbibed all night-Imbibbed- wow- I the word in the sense you've used it in connection with tasting hot sex or maybe that is overstated a bit. Cya Buddy!

Now that's the way a sonnet should be written!- I just got done reading another and it was poorly crafted with forced rhymes and random thoughts... The sight seems to be going downhill... only those who promote more than a dollar are getting sufficient readings... sad. But so good to read you again David, the best poet I've ever known!- Write on Diny

Marillion I wonder if you muted because I expressed myself honestly. Some I don't like some I love why deprive me of the joy of reading poems like this one.
Sensuous but tasteful like your two last lines
Shakespeare would be proud of you and so am I
Great use of metaphor
Excellent consonance of P sounds

David, this is so lovely - I hope Dawn has thanked you appropriately! A very nice sonnet and the The Bard, I am sure, is pleased you emulate his work.
You have a flair for the romantic as well as the bawdy and present both your inimitable panache.

Shakespeare would be proud to see someone emulate him with this. :) Lots of allusion and metaphor, and isn't that what Shakespeare, bawdy as he was, was all about??? Love the sonnet. What a wonderful way to lose a bet!

Ah, I bet Dawn was wonderfully pleased! A real love sonnet from the Rogue's better twin...who has just as perfect mastery of meter, rhyme and subtle poetic nuances. Delicious to read aloud. Lovely and tender write. Love the subtle overtones of wit in the fourth line. Clever!
Sorry I missed this one. Have not been here much for the past month. Traveling and working. :)
NOTES
My love for you is best expressed in print
Because my lips forbid I speak it thus--
And so I bleed my heart in ink to hint
That I would change the you and I to us.
Great rhymes and assonance of I as well.
My love for you is simply complicated,
Much like a cask of wine imbibed all night-- (lol)
Adept at getting one inebriated
Until the blinding shafts of morning light. (potent line)
Clever rhyming here as well--highly unique. Good feminine end rhyme. Good consonance and alliteration of C sounds and consonance of B in blinding and inebriated as well.
But when consumed with care, it's rich and deep,
Exotically erotic -- purely pure--
Delicious, both in meaning and phrasing. Superb alliteration of C, E and P--and consonance of C too, in exotically erotic
Nice internal near rhyme:
A taste well-placed, and one to always keep
This line is not as refined as the rest--perhaps with the unnatural emphasis on THAT:
Within my reach, so that it may endure.
Here's an idea:
Within my reach, so it may then endure.
Superb closing couplet with (intentional or not) good double entendre:
If you'll become the wine I take in sips,
Then pour yourself -- I'll raise you to my lips.
Superb consonance of P sounds.
Almost a six.
Love,
rd

As in many love sonnets, this one is love not requited. There is so much yearning and hoping in the heart to have one we wanted to love and kiss but somehow words got in the way.
We were left in limbo like a cat wanting to catch a swimming fish but afraid to get its paws wet.
Maybe, just maybe, one day, that cat will catch the fish - but not to eat it but to swim with it in the free ocean of love forever. Nice twist to the story as in most sonnets, smiles.
Greta write. Well penned.
Cheerio, best, Ritchie. :))

This transported me to a scene in a king's court with a bunch of suitors trying to win the hand of a beautiful princess. Acrobats and singers all trying to impress. Then you walk up and hand her a scroll to read. As you walk back to your place you look at the other suitors and say, "You never had a chance." I think while everyone is on watch for the Rogue that it is best they keep an eye out for YOU!!! Hahahah. Awesome piece. mikey
