Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.

Ephemeral Love ☀

In the mysterious dark she takes the sky

as I blur into colors on the horizon

and on the stars she doth lie

her eternal beauty mesmerizing

Wishing we could share what’s ours

I reach up on the wings of day

and she floats below on her stars

of dazzling silver grey

I wait for the ephemeral night

where we can come to meet

we drift together in an embrace of light

and a kiss so sweet

as the moment fades we return to our domains of night and day,

but ‘I love you’ is the whispered words I still hear her say.
