I sailed and sailed upon the sea..
For days alone I seemed to be.
At last I saw a line arise
Between the sea and billowed skies..

It grew until it wore the shape
Of cove and shore and inlet cape-
Then hills and valleys, fields and woods..
Buildings, roofs and nieghborhoods.

I thought this time, 'I shall embark
Upon a plasmic sea more dark
Than's ever been and 'tween the skies
And frothy surf I'll see arise

Another world and time that lies
Between the sea and billowed skies.'


M.O.H.

This piece has class, and the theme sets it apart as it isn't as repetitive as others I've seen.


I look forward to reading more

excellent sonnets, im always partial to them for there strictness, but ive written only one since i only had the patience for one. i write haikus, and thats about it for strict formatting. this is better than shakespeare sonnet at the beginning of romeo and juliette =] but then ive never been a fan of shakespeare.

It has flow, character, and all. Always, another wonderful write. Any write about the ocean is always a great one for me. Loves the water.

This was another brilliant write! And it makes me long to go home to the water that I miss so dearly. Your poems always provide such a refreshing retreat from the daily monotony I sometimes refer to as life. ~R

Ahhh...the man has discipline! Well done on a true sonnet. Very nice bit of storytelling...I myself, do not have the patience for a sonnet, but always enjoy reading a good one like yours...
