Of all the walks I’ve walked, tonight I pine
For Philly air to brush right through my hair
To wander through the streets without a care
To laugh in Parc under twilights bright shine
I still feel the buzz running through the air
As we moved to the beat of living free
Living new life for a few days, us three
twelve a.m, chilly breeze, resting on stairs
What I would give to feel that free, once more
hand in hand with the two that I love most
Moments frozen forever in my mind
R2L accompanied with a view
Our glasses clinked in hope we’d see more views
Tonight I’m drunk, I lie awake with the Philly Blues
-Annette
P.s. Its 2am right now and I’m lying in bed thinking about Philadelphia and my time there. Now more than ever I wish I could relive it. I also wanted to try something new so I tried to put the feeling I had into a sonnet. The last line breaks the rules but who cares. I’ll definitely write more about Philly in hope to capture the magic I lived there for a few days with my two best-friends
Take care, Annette
Wow!!

I could feel the genuine happiness you associate with Philadelphia through this sonnet. It’s a wonderful thing to feel connected to a certain place because of the memories you made there… And that is what you brought across so well with your writing. Beautiful! x
