Oceanus Wakes (A Pretentious Name From The Drop Of A Hat) Poem by Kevin Patrick

Oceanus Wakes (A Pretentious Name From The Drop Of A Hat)

Rating: 4.4


Blind is the ocean to the sound of its motion
As it roars with momentum of immeasurable melody
Ushering its whitecaps of sinuous elocution
Against the gold Shorelines with foam balm fidelity
And Astounded, I smile as my toes snicker gusto
Flowing in the convent bonds of primeval sapphire
That Drips like champagne into my pours and soaked muscles
Lashing emulsified brine into Salt licking pyres
Enraptured and serene, my vision twists of blue
Grazing the vanishing points that single heaven and earth
Are just the marginal lines of material sinew
That draws reciprocity from once spiritual hearth
And the sky sits clear, deaf to these great sights
As I stand gazing awestruck to this arena of Delight

Thank you so much! when I read a poem its always the imagery and the evocation of language I look for first, if it rhymes that's tiny bonus! Thank you for reading and enjoying it!

Very pleasant reading experience. Listed as a sonnet. Follows rhyme pattern (roughly) of Shakespearean sonnet. Has some near-rhymes and some part-rhymes. Any 14-line poem is technically a sonnet, true, but to be a TRUE Shakespearean sonnet, you must have only 10 syllables per line, and the meter must be iambic pentameter. Still, as I said, pleasant to read. Congratulations, Earthling.
