"Sonnet 206" of beauty, love and longing, care to C/C?
.
Sonnet 206
My rhymes now fill with mostly raving words,
In lexicon of wonderment and praise
Which heart with glowing adjectives affords,
Where talks refer to how your charm portrays;
No better attributes description holds,
Than what admiring eyes could oft bestow
As title for the beauty that unfolds,
Which even when kept under wraps would show;
Yet only open buds admit the bees
For access to the nectar to partake,
But scent may still be wafted by the breeze,
Which can spread the aroma in its wake;
…….That lent to having all my rhymes inspired,
…….And spawned the love my dreamy heart desired.
.
Thanks HH. You are right, "the lexicon" is much appropriate.

This is truly beautiful, it is very elegant and mature. The word 'lexicon' really threw me off, though. It is a word I have heard in absolute ages! However, this is a beautiful sonnet nonetheless. Kudos to bringing back an old form of writing! Keep it up!
I am a new writer who is trying to get her name out there and possibly land a job or a contract somewhere, so I started a blog. I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out, maybe commented on a post with critique or if you liked it or not. Maybe shared with some friends, if you liked it. I'd really appreciate it, thank you!!

I would just say "the" lexicon on line two, but otherwise this is an okay piece.
