A SONNET (PETRACHAN OR ITALLIAN SONNET)

TITLE: Nature's Ballet of Love

In gardens blooming, nature's warm embrace,
Sweet blooms dance in the enchanting light,
Hearts find grace in love's pure, radiant space,
A symphony of love, both pure and bright.

Roses, gems of love, crimson embrace,

Whisper secrets to the glowing moon,
Fragrance, like a lover's tender chase,
On breezes, love's sweet melodies strewn.

Tulips, bold and wide in petal hue,

Proclaim a love fierce, knowing no fear,
Fiery passions, vibrant hues break through,
In love's bloom, their ardor does appear.

As flowers bloom, love's tale unfolds,

Eternal beauty, fragile yet so bold.

TITLE: Love's Petal Whispers.

Soft, bright petals bloom,
Love fields under fragrant air,
Nature's sweet embrace.
A FREE VERSE POEM.

TITLE: Earth's Lament

"Galamsey," the land's insidious woe,
A thief, stealthy, our future it does stow.
From earth's depths, it emerges to plunder,
Digging into our mother, tearing her asunder.

In profit's name, they ravage and destroy,

No regard for land, no heed to joy.
Rivers once pure, now poisoned streams,
Lifeless fish, no more sweet bird dreams.

Galamsey, they say, paves the way to wealth,

Yet, what is wealth without clean air's health?
A handful of gold, turned to ashes in hand,
Trading our future, a barren land.

Once lush and green, now riches gone,

Ancestors weep, legacy undone.
Fields where farmers toiled, lost and spoiled,
Forests that sheltered, forever despoiled.

Air laced with poison, children's bodies weak,

Galamsey, the thief, has made us meek.
Rise, unite against this calamity,
Restore the land, our shared affinity.

No longer idle as Galamsey thrives,

Fight for the future, where hope survives.
Voices heard, actions bold,
Reclaim our land, let beauty unfold.

Galamsey defeated, pollution undone,

Earth rejoices in the rising sun.
