Pushkin, Balmont and Shakespeare -
Masters of the sonnet form,
opened a new world to me,
the world wide, voluminous.
Above All is - Will Shakespeare,
philosophically great,
put all his love into it,
trampled death, plagued it from hell.
Pushkin - Creator of Joy
under scorching and bright sun
brought me to the Palace, called
Pushkin stanza for his rhyme.
Balmont cultured, raised a plot,
like a bloom on tender stalk
and since then I love a Sonnet,
For Strict, Joyful and Bright form!
He shines like a diamond -
my fourteen-faceted verse,
like an eye - to the heart's core,
and for wines - as cup to hold,
It is faceted to shine,
The soul's drink in it is poured.
And becomes a diamond
Who in it was cast and froze
To play and irradiate beams,
to immortalize your love.
Shakespeare, Pushkin, Balmont are
Masters of the Sonnet speech!
