Poetic Tides Through Time

Sonnet Saga

An English sonnet with structured meter
Is the direction for this sunny day
Sadly, I can’t write a centimeter
Of profound sentiment these words won’t say.

Trying to write feelings wont to express,
Action words leap and bounce upon my paper.
Writing through the night till dawn breaks moonless,
Until the poem fast becomes a caper.

I’ll pen my verses with creative care;
From the start, I vow this sad grey saga
Will tell a story that will end somewhere
Or as fate destined, fade like the quagga.

A story poem quite fits this sonnet
If I add nine voices, 'tis a nonet!
