Thou cometh in many a shape and size, <br />Many a delicate figure and form, <br />Dedicating all thy life to fragrance, <br />Thine beauty’s born for every pair of eyes; <br />Though scarce with a lifespan long art thou born <br />For long doth linger thy blossom’s romance, <br />Though thorns is all thou hast for company <br />No caveats I’ve heard from thee any. <br /> <br />Far sweeter art thou than be pure honey <br />In thine bosom, and thine bewitching smile <br />Seems to hail birds and bees all so many, <br />From all of neighbourhood in a long mile! <br /> <br />How dost thou pack in short life so much punch? <br />Pray tell; we humans are clueless for hunch! <br />_________________________________________________ <br />The rhyme scheme: abc/abc/dd for the octave, <br />ef/ef for the quatrain, and gg for the ending <br />couplet. The Volta is held up till the couplet. <br />_________________________________________________ <br /> -Sonnets | 08.02.07 |<br /><br />Aniruddha Pathak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-secret-of-thy-smile/
