"Sonnet 209" I almost forgot how to write anymore, please bear with this. Will you Please CC?
Sonnet 209
Love can give signs to hint of its presence,
Like rain that may be augured by a cloud,
Or speak mysterious of its essence
Through lips so veiled, as though wrapped in a shroud;
Or love may touch with token tenderness,
That even doubting hearts may not dismiss,
Or find cause for pretense at truthfulness,
For even parting could bestow a kiss;
But love shows colors, nice, when it is true,
Like honesty that’s stripped off of the lies,
Or sunset free of clouds that block the view
As night is born and dimming daylight dies;
……But will I rightly read the signs this time?
……All indices for love has shown to climb.

Oh my gosh, I laughed before I started reading because now you (forgive me in advance) can use stock photography to match your usual stock imagery.) But seriously the poem isn't bad. I like the line "Like rain that may be augured by a cloud," especially because I don't get the deadening daDeedaDeeda of over heavy reliance on pentameter from it.
The image is horrendous, reminds me of the schlocky romantic scenes in Star Wars part II, that felt like a video game.
Don't you love the fact that now we can comment on other people's answers now -- EVEN IF THEY HAVE US BLOCKED???
