Sonnets Here, In-House

My Latest For The Lovely
And Brilliant INKLING!​

Not fallen off the planet, she reports.
That's good to know; she would be sorely missed!
Our Juliet is adding to her list
Of triumphs of the high artistic sorts.

For Mozart, and for Pergolesi too,
She'll do the favor of her voice this year
In operas--you must know I'm sincere
In saying that for them she will ring true.

As with "Les Miz," I wistfully regret
That Horace Vandergelder's male-lead part
In "Hello, Dolly" won't me mine; but art
Will flourish in the hands of Juliet.

I trust her husband will prevent all tears,
By being there at all of her premieres!

Amazing work, Joe! Very Well done
 
For Shortangel

To have "the best week ever" might be hard
For someone who has dodged a tidal wave,
And who, returning home, still is on guard
For news of dread from Fukushima's grave.

But even though her parents, with herself,
Could be in jeopardy, Shortangel prays
For others, and inquires about my health.
Besides this, she was one of those to raise

Rebuttal when a slanderer attacked
My character (not here) with charges false.
Not friend in label only, but in fact,
Shortangel helps to man my fortress walls.

Young lady, you receive my gratitude;
Your soul has surely fed on gracious food.
 
To My Friend Who Calls Herself
"FightingMyDemons"


Life calls for joining forces in our toil;
In orchestras, we don't expect bassoons
To fill the whole show playing solo tunes;
And just one farmer can't plow all the soil.

On Facebook, you and I have talked of this.
You want to break free from unstated stress,
But running doesn't always make pain less;
Please pause, and study what the problem is.

Then if you run, run TO your caring friends,
Not quickly blaming anyone for grief,
But seeking wisdom, and thereby relief,
As you receive, or offer, true amends.

You don't beat demons singlehandedly;
Accept the help of Christ, and friends like me.
 
To copperfox

Oh how I wish I could break free
Fly like a bird in the wind,
Up in the sky, so high.
Caring friends are easy to find,
But when the true challenges come,
When I'm stuck in the mire.
Will they still be there?
They go to my mom, telling her
All the things, I wouldn't want her to know.
But do I get to know who this friend is?
No just my friend & her.
My mom doesn't step out and tell me;
But I'm too afraid to ask.
My friend doesn't step up either.
I'm scared of people at church the one place where I should feel safe.
 
Dear girl, "Fernshirehobbit" is herself a prime example of the gentle and helpful new female friends you can make on this forum. Please DO stick with us.

TDL is probably the best place to be if you want to make friends and be yourself. Welcome! I'm Annemarie, I made tons of friends, some that I will have for the rest of my life(*cough* Dusty *cough*)

Welcome to TDL, I'm mostly known as "Destiny" here. :D I'm here if you wanna talk or anything. :D Glad to help. And TDL is a great place.
 
To Destiny Lies, after seeing
her newest Facebook Note


We both know there's a gift of being there
For others; and the fact that you've known pain
Makes you not less, but more fit to sustain
Your friends' morale through all they have to bear.

Marcella, first girl hearing me propose
(She turned me down, but that is not the point),
Had scars all down her legs from joint to joint,
But was no less, to me, a perfect rose.

Long after, when I won my Janalee,
I saw her scars from that great accident;
But what those marks across her body meant
Was that she passed through pain to come to me.

You lovely women who have suffered harm
Do not thereby lose any of your charm.

Aw... :D Thanks, Joe. :D My scars are severe...but my boyfriend loves them...he says it reminds him that I'm special, and am alive when I shouldn't be...so I am with him.
 
To Beth, a.k.a. Narnian Princess


It was no crime for you to make request
That I write you a sonnet. But I asked
For information; lacking this, the best
That I can do is improvise the task.

Let's see, both Hannah and Elsesta are
Your forum-sisters here; that much is true.
You live in the Yoo-Kay; that's really far!
And Lucy Pevensie's been praised by you.

You showed your wisdom back in Twenty-Ten,
By seeking counsel from your forum-dad
Regarding clues for understanding men;
I hope your outcomes there are never bad.

There, I've almost achieved "ex nihilo;"
Now, write me, and I'll have another go.
