A poem inspired by the piece of art the thumbnail is a crop of. All credit to
for thumbnail and inspiration.
The poem is a sonnet. Don't know if that's relevant or you're supposed to write about a specific thing in a sonnet, but I wanted to see if I could force myself to use a rhyme scheme.
Scheme is ABABCDCDEFGEFG
today's quote is the title
What is it that makes the soul delight?
Many of us may never know it’s treasure.
We know our hearts want ever to take flight,
Soar with angels, dip and flip with pleasure.
Achieving this is difficult, I know.
Perhaps it is amassing piles of cash?
Fill the coffers, give off a golden glow?
Nay, I say. Do this, breed greed, receive a nasty gash.
There is but one way happiness is claimed,
It takes no capital, no materials that draw the evil eye,
Only another soul seeking similar relief.
Friends, lovers, colleagues, unity gained,
We will soar hand in hand, you and I,
Laughing, spinning, happy in our shared belief.
