Sonnet

Eau de Cologne Spring

When I write with silver strand moonbeams when
you yearn for me in moonrise I'll find you
Just sate your pen with ink well of rose, just
imbue cloudscape with passion puffs, imbue.

Bring paper cream dreams on wings on love, bring
gift wrap, nib me in the bud of your gift
Spring kissed with eau de cologne breath of Spring
drift me on bluebird skies, scribe of my drift.

See! how our first eye-lift look locked love, see
how I dotted your violet eyes gold, how
We flourished with poetry's ode and we
now have pledged vows to honor our love now.

Names signed in calligraphy both our names
flames of sonnet's gild ink, these are our flames!

The Shadow Sonnet was created by Amera M. Andersen, 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. Since all poetry was originally meant to be sung or recited out loud, homophonic 
words are acceptable, these are words that sound alike such as “see and sea”.  (Rules: 14 lines, 
9 or 10 syllables per line.  The poem should have a volta or pivit; iambic pentameter is not 
necessary.)
