Crowned And Crucified

My first SERIOUS attempt at a sonnet.....made tougher by the fact I had the last two lines in my head first!! LOL

Crowned with the glory of your precious love
I believed myself to have won your heart
I dreamed that we would never be apart--
Neither on this earth nor in heaven above.
Passing time gave you every chance to prove
You had more than tender words to impart--
Instead of being struck by Cupid's dart
You showed me a heart that still longed to rove.
Though you knew how to love my body well,
You always managed to make my soul cry;
Longing for more, yet feeling all hope die.
Without you , here in my own private Hell,
There is but one truth left that I must tell:
As love crowns you, so shall he crucify.

Sonnet For An Easter Bonnet

I bought an darling hat
To wear on Easter day
But when I stopped to chat
The wind blew it away.

It rose above the trees
And up into the sky--
It almost seemed to me
That little hat could fly.

The last I saw my bonnet
It was wrapped in telephone wire
And so I wrote this sonnet
Before it could get any higher.

And next year, I'm afraid,
I'll be going hatless to the Easter parade!
