Sonnet 14

My love comes like the early Summer rain,
Which drizzle lends to making flowers bloom,
So once again the meadows could regain,
Their sparkle lost as Winter cast its gloom;
In bright sunlight, as pristine droplets fall,
Rainbows glow round my heart and deep within,
Not one boring moment could I recall,
For in stillness, I hear sweet songs begin;
But raindrops fell and poured their wrath on us,
Soaking our very bones, me and my love,
We might as well just be gardens, and thus,
Welcome this benediction from above;
......And grow and bloom we will throughout the years,
......Assured of rain and sun though Winter nears.

Sorry I missed this one earlier. Others have offered good critique.



I enjoyed reading this and I've dipped into it a few times now.



The best I can do now is offer impressions. This poem is one of those rare poems that one can enter at any point and still get the sense of the whole. The imagery is consistent and self referencing so that you still get a sense of the poem at any one point in its body. The recurring theme of rain is notable. I particularly like the rainbow and then the sense of becoming a garden towards the end. I enjoy the tying of love with troubles and life; There's a hint here of ageing but I might be getting this wrong.



Thank you.

here are numerous reasons why a once committed relationship would degenerate to one partner asking for a divorce. how to save your marriage https://tr.im/23trW



It could have been:



- an affair

- having been separated by a long distance for lengths of time

- conflict

- behavioral issues or psychological problems of one spouse

- even unmanaged addictions.



Whatever of these problems may be what is seen on the surface, the bottom line is that usually, barring any abuse or psychological problems that are best handled by a professional, a couple find themselves in danger of divorce when there is a loss of:



- communication,

- love

- and intimacy



in the marital relationship.

This is not "another good read." This is distilled and potent poetry. I would meander down past dogwoods and azaleas of Tennessee hills singing after drinking moonshine from this still.



Is it legal to bottle this and ship it to the U.S.?



Oh yes, but Geminis is correct: I think "which" is awkward.



And now, reading these first lines again, I get caught in that Freudian symbolism of yours that I so delight in because it is so discreet.

Romantically Descriptive! Love benediction line...only have trouble with which drizzle,if you are personifying Summer,shouldn't it be whose? I'm not sure,but I thought that line was hard to read.

"Which drizzle" is how they talked back then. Conversely, I am surprised I could read this, because normally I can't read Shakespeare. And it was amazing.
