From the farthest of Hebrides
A letter came all way through the sea
I opened its flap, read the name
Oh its for me!
She wrote it with her seraph hands
The words revived my soul
Oh she embedded her heart for me
Hidden in the lovely verses of the scroll………………….
Sent a call for me
from lands she nested
of the lovely maiden
whose beauty she manifested.................
And I followed the scent she left behind
To discover the beauty that charmed my mind..............

A refreshing river of romance! Well done my friend!
Thanks for the comments, glad that you enjoyed my poems. You do have a great imagination and your themes are not overwhelming. You do recognize that a sonnet has to have 14 lines. In English poetry each line usually begins with a capital letter, also sonnets usually have ten syllables to a line, it is called pentameter. This is a lovely poem and I liked the thought that she had embedded her heart in the words of her letter. Adeline
A heartwarming, romantic and charming letter from one so dear. A lovely piece indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
Lovely poem. Its very touch. Great job. Your very good. (:
The remarkable feature of the poem is your focus on it, as sonnet form is rightly chosen for the theme, supported by appropriate images...like Hebrides image is much suitable more than any modern scale of distances, a letter image coming through the sea, the exclamation of excitement and joy...it's Shakespearean in composition with 3 stanzas with alternate rhyme, ending in a closed couplet...my suggestion is to edit and remove the dots which apparently have no reason...in punctuation if you still want to use them then use only 3 dots...just a humble suggestion for such beautiful poetry!
Wow! A truly deep write why not it is for the beloved. Love your ink.

Oh my! This is so good! Your poem is so fluently flowing, you can feel the wind on the sea rushing as the letter comes, through reading this poem! Oh it is so good!
