Don Moore, a devotee of the English poet, chose to write his own poems in that classic manner. With free-wheeling thoughts adhering to the iambic pentameter patterns of the 14 line sonnet, Moore explores many subjects beyond Shakespeare's English Renaissance realm. His interest in Asian legends, American music and life, astronomy, and mythology is penned in admiration of Shakespeare's craft. Moore's love poems echo the Bard of Avon's romantic sonnets. However, his compositions in rich verse are created for the contemporary reader. Applying tempered imagery to his poetic vision, Don describes himself in lines of his sonnet titled WILD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I, the poet, sit here singing my songs, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy songs over and over, back and forth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike an excited caged beast who belongs\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild blackness of the Dipper's North.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI say that Poetry is a feeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd I possess enough of lyric bent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo taste a bestial newness when I sing...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 09, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47409612030130,"sku":"9781638680444","price":18.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/caf2e5cfcf933bbc2f68f0d78ed7f46d.webp?v=1778269604","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/sonnets-from-a-floating-life-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
