SONNET-
VALENTINE ROSE
The
so-called "Shakespearian" sonnet tends to have a certain
progression of ideas- the first four lines present a subject, the
next four elaborate it, the next four start to come to a conclusion
and the last two (rhyming couplet) sum it up - or sometimes reverse
it. However, this "argument" (thesis, development,
penultimate conclusion, conclusion) is not the whole story for it
needs to be conducted via imagery and sound combinations rather than
merely abstract thoughts and so appeal to imagination and feeling as
well as thought. Often the imagery will revolve around a central
image- in this case the Valentine rose.
SONNET- VALENTINE ROSE
I'd
wish that I could bring before your eyes
The
finest blossom of the flower of light-
As
fair as Venus, splendid in those skies
That
pass from dusk's last lilac to deep night.
I'd
wish that I could bring before your ears
Most
moving blossoming of great-toned song
That,
singing shining melody, appears
To
weave with words both deep and fire-strong.
Though
all my gifts are lines and one poor rose
It
bears brave red as signal of the heart,
And
though I write but this poor rhyme, it shows
Much
struggle seeking words to speak soul's part.
And
if my gift be not of light-sung hue,
Yet
still I wish to speak of love for you.
