Sonnet 72 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares

On A love Stand


On a love stand daily I find my chores
And the different moods heave my thinking
To hie heavenward with sublime decors
Looking for a little while of singing.

My wake is mist that constantly glitters
To the light of the Sun and a goddess
Who are for all my sorrows the smitters
To make them dust and give me happiness.

Through carrousels of life Nature endures
And passion swings my heart with emotions
To find its way through where each Muse augurs
While winds behold their musical motions.

At day's end I take the world in a breath
And sleep falls on the bossom of my earth.         14
                                   ***
14-. bossom= tahe  breast  regarded  as the source 
of feelings or  the  seat  of  innermost  thoughts.
14-. earth= poetic  word  for body.

Structure and Rhyme Scheme

Sonnet 72 by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares follows the Shakespearean sonnet structure in terms of its rhyme scheme. A Shakespearean sonnet consists of three quatrains (four-line stanzas) and a final rhymed couplet (two-line stanza). The rhyme scheme is typically ABAB CDCD EFEF GG.

Let’s analyze the rhyme scheme of this sonnet:

Quatrain 1 (Lines 1-4): chores (A), thinking (B), decors (A), singing (B)
Quatrain 2 (Lines 5-8): glitters (C), goddess (D), smitters (C), happiness (D)
Quatrain 3 (Lines 9-12): endures (E), emotions (F), augurs (E), motions (F)
Couplet (Lines 13-14): breath (G), earth (G)

So, the rhyme scheme of this sonnet is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, which is consistent with the structure of a Shakespearean sonnet. This structure allows the poet to develop three distinct but closely related ideas, each contained within its own quatrain, before concluding with a summarizing or amplifying couplet.

Analysis of Aspects

While we've covered the rhyme scheme and general themes of Sonnet 72, there are still several aspects that can be further analyzed, including its use of imagery, meter, and tone.

Imagery: The sonnet is rich in vivid and evocative imagery. For instance, the speaker's wake is described as a "mist that constantly glitters," a beautiful image that conveys the fleeting and ethereal nature of consciousness. The "carrousels of life" and the "musical motions" of the winds are other examples of the sonnet's powerful imagery, which serves to create a vivid and immersive world for the reader.

Meter: The sonnet appears to follow the iambic pentameter, which is common in traditional sonnets. This means that each line typically contains five pairs of syllables, with the stress falling on the second syllable of each pair. However, there are some variations in the meter, which add rhythm and musicality to the poem.

Tone: The tone of the sonnet is contemplative and introspective. The speaker reflects on his daily life, his emotions, and his place in the world with a sense of wonder and acceptance. The final couplet, in particular, conveys a sense of peace and contentment, suggesting that the speaker has found harmony in his love, his creativity, and his connection with nature.

Symbolism: The sonnet also uses symbolism to convey its themes. The Sun and the goddess symbolize divine or spiritual love, while the Muses represent creativity and inspiration. The "bossom of [his] earth," which refers to the speaker's body, symbolizes his connection with nature and the physical world.

Alliteration and Assonance: The sonnet uses alliteration (the repetition of consonant sounds) and assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds) to create a musical quality. For example, in the line "To the light of the Sun and a goddess," the repetition of the 'l' and 's' sounds creates a soothing and harmonious effect.

Enjambment: The sonnet uses enjambment, which is the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza. This creates a sense of flow and continuity, reflecting the speaker's ongoing journey of love and self-discovery.
