A sonnet in February: "a private test"

Here's a new sonnet for early in February 2018.


a private test

It's still a vivid moment to recall,
the when I saw her first -- a vision clad
in loveliness and grace which did enthrall
my sighted urgency. For I was glad
to find her then and there, where I required
a view to be desired, so I would feel
the certainty of verve, my blood inspired
by her exquisity of nude appeal;
and so I could provide my gratitude,
the cells of male affection and the source
of line and life's continuance. This interlude
established my extravagant resource
and set her in my memory, the place
I always see her body and her face.
