A Message from my Dreams (Sonnet) by Joshua_Tree

I heard a plaintive message from my dreams, That they were lonely missing me, it seems. "Where have you been our friend, our one time friend." I felt a touch from one I knew as love, Who had at last been sent from God above To speak a new beginning from the end. I have a blessed vision from my muse, She directs me put away my blues - To paint the sun with dots of shining gold. I smell the sweet incense of romance burn And taste a wine so sweet I cannot turn. My troubled heart again to be made bold. A lover I have neither seen nor heard, My heart yet hangs on her every word.

"Necessarily"? No. More often than not? Yes. One alternative as you mentioned, is the pseudo-rhyme, which I'd gladly accept in free verse, but which I reject for a sonnet.

Again, I agree that love and above are white trash rhymes, pimple poetry, whatever, I am just suffering from one of the effects of bi-polar disorder... It's absolutely true, but it doesn't apply to my situation.

Put that way, I see that I may have given up too easily back when I decided to calll that poem complete. I'm ready to see if I can't find love in the bodice of the goddess.
