Rhapsody Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Don't shoot me, please. I know this is a very rough English sonnet. I wrote it as a high-school freshman, enthralled with the concept of unicorns. It was inspired by Meredith Ann Pierce's Firebringer trilogy. Silken-Swift Unicorns don’t truly exist, it seems. Only in fables and fantastic tales, or perhaps in the children’s wildest dreams are the Silken-Swift confidently hailed. With velvet coats of cream and moonlit manes, horns of bright gold and soulful sapphire eyes, light-filled hearts, cloven hooves like silver rain, gilded wings and virtuosity cries, embodied in these heavenly deities. With wafts of cinnamon and spring roses, sweet voices sing exquisite melodies. Unicorns wander, bringing the lost hope. Mankind benefits from God’s gracious gift. Miracle-workers are the Silken-Swift.
Ayshela Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 don't shoot you? well, okay... though i'd not have been inclined to anyway. what you lose in rough spots in the rhythm you more than make up in vivid imagery.
Appy Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 *smiles* Lucky for you I guess that I don't know anything about writing sonnet's I really liked this.. specially the image of silken-swift. Oh, and there are several people who can tell you Unicorns Do exist
