Upright or Grand

Keys pure as angels, a rapture mending
Bringing just an evanescent event
Torments lifted above here suspending
Just for a flash of escaping lament
God given talent was no accident
Such power within the palm of one's hand
Impenetrable sounds make one relent
And spirit melts through one's fingers like sand
Then when one's imagination expands
Beyond mystifying and depraved earth
A perplexing euphoria takes stand
And esteem will seize personal rebirth
The joys and sorrows of my soul expressed
On metal strings and felt hammers confessed

Stephen! Love this Shakesperean sonnet! You have expressed well how make music can bring joy…. imagination…as the spirit lifts you to higher heights in its own melody! Beautiful! 5 stars from me!

Thank you so much Valerie! Your feedback means the world to me! I've always admired Shakespeare's sonnets. I had to write this one for school and I finally decided to post it somewhere :)
Stephen! If you are interested in writing sonnets, I think you should try the Spanish, Spenserian, Sicilian, Wordsworthian, Petrarchan and Heroic sonnet forms. They offer different rhyme schemes or variations and can be quite challenging especially if you've only written Shakesperean sonnets. Welcome to the site!
