Hmm, Valentine...?
While its yet Valentines Day here in the Midwest and February is overcast, half misty and snowy wet, happily the inspiration of romance and summer's pleasures inspired (for whatever reason) and here is a little morsel....would he like it if he exists? [Note: L14 was a toss up of which 2-syllable word to excise. You can guess what the deleted one is.]
(sonnet # DXLIV)
Let's wander in the gloaming as the light
In whispers fades; while Robins twitter their
"Goodnights" half urgent as th'ev'ning falls; ere
By subtly graying, the colours wane to bright
Romantic silver moonlit scenes; while slight
Vague hues remain, let's loiter softly there,
Our fingers intertwined, hearts just aware
Of that delicious time, in sweet delight.
O Valentine, when all's at length serene;
When frogs' bass serenade and cricket trills
The symphony for tender dark's soft mien
In rich melod'ous strains then swells and thrills;
Where lunar escapades invite, their sheen
Of haunting white o'erspread, let's taste what spills.

Soft, serene and sophisticated with special Valentine's blending.

This is softly romantic , rich in imagery and creativity as always . A queen of sonnets marching the wonder filled yards of romance with well crafted verses and a sonneteering epiphany . I love the lunar escapades making that delicious morsel of time taste more ecstatic ....wow is my word .
An beautiful sonneteering song of romance vested in the call of the wild and wonderful. I just love the 'frogs' bass serenade'. Jenny, you rock!! :)
You master formats skillfully. Humble, I haven't got a clue of which syllable you deleted. The music that flows from the poem , is ovewhelming. The pauses, the way to cut a word here and there. It's a real English lesson for me. Exquisite, romantic a perfect portrait of Love. Recommended
Beautiful and meaningful, nice imagery depicted for your readers. you have a special way with words. tfs
