Beautiful flower (Sonnet)

1

In little corners, she paints us a rainbow 2

By typing down so much have a great day 3

Even to people she doesn’t actually know 4

She brings shiny colors in their shades of grey 5

Well thought-out comments bring laughter and joy 6

But she isn’t afraid to handle a serious matter 7

She has hundreds of poems and sonnets to enjoy 8

And really an impressive collection of the latter 9

Wielding humor and wisdom into words of art 10

She definitely has Fairy God-Mother power 11

Shooting her poems straight into the heart 12

So to many of us, she’s a beautiful flower 13

My first sonnet ever to honor a treasure, 14

MargaretG, it’s written with all of my pleasure 15

Author notes

okay, my first sonnet ever... especially written for a lady I recently learned to know...



hope you all like it

    A beautiful tribute to someone who sounds like they are a lovely person! I see that this is your first sonnett??? That's remarkable! I admire you for taking on a form that you've not attempted before. You've definitely done the form, and your friend an honor! You're a gifted poet, my friend! Beautiful work!

    I did comment here as under the name Gaze! How can you say I didn't, were you wearing your glasses, or did you forget who Gaze is? Tsk tsk, sad to get old

    My dear Leander, once more I wish you all the best in this contest and thanks again for honouring Marg with this lovely poem!
    Kusjes,

    Why hasn't Mari commented? Sure, she's making me do all the work

    It's a lovely sentiment to my FGM and I'm sure she appreciates the sentiment. Also you've described her pretty accurately (except where she gets upset when I annoy her, lol)

    Since I have never tried my hand at a sonnet, I give you full kudos for this wonderful piece of work. You have done well in describing the Lady Margaret, I know she will enjoy this. Best of luck in the contest.

    This is beautiful coming from the heart of a sincere person. It is great that you took a shot at a Sonnet just for Margaret and you did an excellent job. I would never have been able to tell it was your first. Keep up writing the Sonnets.

    This is indeed a lovely poem, and you have said much about her personality. I liked the mention of her favourite line
    Marg is a warm and caring lady, always ready to help those who ask for her help.

    About the form, I think you have the meter a little bit off, and the iambics don't work so well. I know this isn't such an easy form. I have only ONE sonnet on my page and that came after tears and blood
    It's in any event a beautiful poem to a beutiful Fairy.
    Thanks Leander for writing this to our contest

    Man, I've always known your are talented...and now...a SONNET!! WOW, Leander, you are really, really branching out in your poetic skills, my friend. And what a beautiful "word flower" for a beautiful flower woman. You could not have chosen a more perfect title and subject for this poem. A poem that reads and flows effortlessly - light and airy! I loved the light tone of this sonnet. Man, you are MUCH better than me...I think the last sonnet I wrote was in high school and THAT, my friend, was in the previous century, LOL!! Great work, Leander and such a wonderful tribute to warm this lady's heart!

    thank you for your lovely comment it's harder to get a sonnet out of the mind than I thought it would be in fact, I'd rather wanted to write a cento, but that's even harder

    Oh Leander! This is fantastic!
    The lightness of your humour, your lovely choice of words, and the attention to what I have been writing make this a joy to read. The rhymes are wonderful! Of course, part of my pleasure is because you are so nice to me. Thank you very much!
