Poetry Challenge Day 11: Control

Life is a Sonnet

I read a book that said life was written
As a sonnet to follow the control 
Dictated by the rule of the word in
powerful pen and paper to unroll.

We are then free to compose the meaning
Of our lines inside that dictated rule,
To love or laugh, even hate our enemy.
The pen is in our hand to love or fool.

But no one wants to follow a clear chosen
Path to a life defined by universe
Dictated stars. Man desires prose in
Free form. Ultimate control is a curse.

So, dear writer, take your pen to paper,
A sonnet written is a life happier.

Poetry Challenge Day 7: Lucky

 

Lucky in Love 

A field blossomed in green
Walking with no purpose
They stop to watch a hawk
Seeking a meal to surface

He wonders if she is the one
Smile shines, eyes hold
Him like a blanket keeping 
At bay, the winter cold

He glances down at
His feet to see a patch
Of clovers, he kneels
A four leaf clover he grasps

She follows the hawk’s
Flight through the sky
Wishing to be free 
Turns to him and sighs

He is standing up
Smiles and holds out
The clover for her
To see the leaf count

Silence between them
He feels happy, lucky
She understand she needs
freedom, that is the key

She kisses his cheek, leaves
Him falling, spirit now weak
