Sonnet War - Response to July 3rd.

[arontius]

.....Greetings,

.....My response to Marquessa Laurellen in the Sonnet War. My apologies for taking so long to reply. :-)

In battles many I will persevere
My journey's long course will be straight and true.
Temptation will not lure me with her leer.
Nor weariness with soft feet cloud my view.

She sees before her but a simple fool.
A man like others of no consequence
What she seeks is not in my reach to rule,
No matter how sincere my eloquence.

I care not, my heart was hers long ago.
Sweet Venus did awaken love's warm spring.
And cause the gardens of my soul to grow.
In her full beauty my life's joy did sing.

I will attend, it matters not how far.
For she is my path and bright guiding star.

.....An English (Shakespearean) Sonnet, as was presented in Marquessa Laurellen's volley. :-)

.....Arontius.

Good one, Arontius. Well, Laurellen? You have another month for the next volley...

BTW, this goes in the next issue of The Flames....

Hmmm, does not the author get a choice in whether or not his writing will go into The Flames?

Sonnetry is something that is very personal and intimate. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with all of your readership reading my innermost thoughts and feelings. :-)

Of course you have final say on whether it's published...but I would venture to say that more people will view it on LJ that subscribe to the Flames...

If you don't want it to be published, I won't put it in. Just let me know.

Sonnet again

Don't forget...you owe someone an ode to pink toenails...

Still almost speechless... almost.

I've just re-read this again... I'm glad I have a month to think about a return volley. :)
