A Sonnet of the Sea
by Sharron Tyrrell
copyright 04-04-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Atop this knoll overlooking the sea,
Mist from the waves and wind, leave a chill.
Gulls swoop to see how it is I'm so free,
Their shouts on the wind to my ears land shrill.
In the bay rests a worn out lobster boat,
I watch as it rocks and waves slap its hull.
Laden with traps and once colorful floats,
Aging and miles made this old worker dull.
In the distance a brand new barge appears
A throaty rumble, it's new engines purr.
A fresh coat of paint to it’s side adheres,
The wind sights and sound my sad heart stirs.
The romance of the ocean fills my soul
My mind sees explorers, here from this knoll.

Sonnets are one of my fovorite forms. This one is lovely. I wonder if you should write "engine purrs" instead of "engines purr"? It would sound better in your poem, but perhaps it would be technically incorrect.

I don't know anything about sonnets, but I know how this made me feel. I felt like I was standing right there beside you. Great imagery! Even though I live in the Midwest, I have always loved the sea!

Hi Sharron. A sonnet? Holy cow, and I can't even get the meter of prose right!!! Good one! Bunny
