The Sonnets

by Timothy Salter

Ever fascinated by the art of Sonnets, I set out to pursue this form of writing, in an attempt to revive the art and to challenge myself. Two forms I have delved Petrarchan and Shakespearean. After reading many of William Shakespeare's Sonnets, I found my work influenced by the quaint old fashioned manner of speaking. My aim is not to show off, but reflect that of God upon the lines I write. Here are my Sonnets. To God be all praise!

With his melancholic poetic mind, Timothy uses his quill to WRITE in an ARCHAIC sense with his highly flowing language. The rustic pictures that came across his mind did reflect into the form of a tranquil poetry. Sometimes his mind ascents somewhere it descents with a BYPAST fragrance or real essence of antique poetry. His facet is incredible, appreciated, and charming for the soft ears.I read his pondering mind, direful, enthusiastic, and cherished. You have talents that would make a sea change, a revolution ABOVE the unconventional youth, for you have natural endowment! —the way you used the elements in THE poetry are extreme like tinsels upon the bygone kingdom fall. Let this happiness continue among the SILENCE loving readers, to wait until your next new philosophies could ensure a change upon those curious minds.

Yes, I do only heartily recommend this typical scented book, It has out passed the talents!!
