At lunch, I was looking at types of poetry and read an Italian sonnet. Below is my first attempt at an Italian sonnet, so please don’t throw tomatoes at the screen.
So elusive, the day we met
Soft smelling skin, and wrinkled red.
Your beauty stunned with nothing said,
But knew I’d be in sister’s debt.
Tiny body wiggles from fret,
Wrapped tight in clothes, on back, in bed.
Rocking close to crib, while I read
Feelings for you, will not forget.
Lives became special with this shift,
Of baby in her pure white gown,
Eyes big, I learn, about lovin’.
I thanked the lord for such a gift,
Smiled down, gently kiss your crown,
Looked up, now sits a young woman.
Interesting. I liked the rhythm to it. You're niece should be pleased.
