Though this blog is part of Dave Stelmach Photography it will be used to feature my poetry. I hope you enjoy them.

Sonnet 1

If I were to compare you to a song
There would not be a melody so sure
No tune could last the endless day so strong
Or fill such golden notes with lyric pure

Some songs are dull and maybe sung off-key
And often is the melody unrhymed
Or harsh and filled with loud cacophony
By chance the lagging meter left un-timed

But your eternal song will never fade
Nor lose the lyric gift you do bestow
Or still the sweetest tempo ever played
With words so grand as written in an ode

So long as stars do shine and planets play
So long your melody forever gay
