A Sonnet For Maria (Free verse) by Anemone What sweetness a rose
But compared to you it pales
A rose has beauty and
scent
Does it convey a message of love
Nay, it is a scent, an object
Ethereal but it cannot love
Nor does it speak in a thousand ways
Language of the body and mind
How magnificent is life, with you
Within
it's bounds in earthly ways
Love from you is like the rose
And a
thousand times more
For you love!

This doesn't fit the sonnet form. Why the title? Ref. Shakespeare's rose sonnet? This actually seems to be a backhand insult -- if a rose cannot convey love, then the lover's love is a 1000x nothing.
I normally don't like lovey-dovey poems but this one is beautiful!
