Summer's Rhapsody (A Sonnet)




Paint me on your canvas of rosy dawn,
dewy scarlet daisy blooms in soft hues,
your mango-dipped fingers dwelling upon,
crimson cool honey dripping to heart's muse.

Drench my soul in your ethereal touch,
Inhaling your musk with lazy noon mush,
dancing to whispers of orchards you clutch,
tendrils in vineyard of my cocooned blush.

Sing me a rhapsody of clouds in white,
lilac summer holding onto spring breeze,
my hair tickle your glances at twilight,
velvet breaths fuse in woods with rustling trees.

Silver crescents blaze moonlit pearls of love,
lulled in wraps of tranquil stars from above.


Here is the traditional Shakespearean Sonnet with a defined meter. There are 14 lines, with three quatrains(four lines each) consisting of a theme and the last two lines(couplet) concluding the theme. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. Each line of this sonnet of mine contains 10 syllables.
