GA Writing Prompts - 60. Poetry Prompt # 9 - Sonnet

So Long Ago

You ask, but it’s hard to give you replies
As many years and decades have since passed
He was a fair-haired guy; he had blue eyes
I barely remember my first true love

The memory is vague, a shadow just
I was enamoured; he was sweet and kind
His image is largely covered with dust
His face is blurred; his name’s escaped my mind

My life moved on; I don’t dwell in the past
And neither want to and don’t see the point
I do keep my memories to my heart
But don’t want to live my life on rewind

Time goes by and neither moment will last
Better live now and let go of the past

Thanks Dolores for taking the poetry prompt challenge. This is a perfectly valid take on the theme of 'first love' and building on it. The couplet as a reinforcement of the entire poem is very well done.

 

I hope you keep up writing more sonnets, as the more you do, the more comfortable a means of expression the form will become for you. And I would like to see more of them from you :)

Thank you, AC Benus. The sonnet was hard to write, mainly because I was struggling with the theme. I hope to write more sonnets in the future. I like the form.
