An attempt to create a Spencerian sonnet (named after the 19th-century American poet, Edmund Spencer), although not in iambic pentameter it does follow the structure of 14 lines that are divided into three quatrains (four-line stanzas) followed by a concluding quatrain (a four-line stanza). The first twelve lines (the three quatrains) alternate rhymes, creating a chain-like rhyme scheme: ABAB BCBC CDCD. The final two lines (the concluding quatrain) rhyme with each other: EE. Or you can just ignore and read with the interspersed painting (gouache on paper) done about 12 years ago.
Welcome dearest, why such a start?
Its really quite normal
Created and guided here from the heart
So simple and gentle, no need to be formal.
Relax and exhale, to be perfectly mortal
Without any angles, just the curling of curves
While your soul is the guide through a beautiful portal
It’s lovely and light, all that one surely deserves.
