Petrarchan Sonnet of Love-at-First Sight
A stumbling iambic footed path with a Sicilian seste
At love's first sight, the world holds a soft glow
when a sterile old stick before that hour,
is enflamed by creations fire-shower,
crafting love’s sacred, gold-glazed sculpted show.
An obscure spark transforms matter to soul,
infusing a complex eternal power.
That stick forms blossoms, that in beauty flower
then bear fruit, renewing a cycle whole.
A carver finds flames in an ancient wood.
With intimate breaths, embers coaxed allow
the expression of a soul understood.
Fiery licks vault. A divine eminence lured,
flows from love's smouldering immortal bough
resonating harmony. All is good.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
