Just
take me to
that hidden glade
with a carpet
of
leaves and shade,
where
thoughts
flow free
and dreams are made.
Released
right here
beside this brook
with Autumn
everywhere
you look.
A cloak
along the path you took,
and
hanging clusters
in the trees
that r u s t l e
in the gentle
b-r-e-e-z-e
are
things
that set
the mind
at
e-a-s-e
and
make a most
ROMANTIC MOOD
where interuptions
won't
intrude.
It's there
I wish
to promise you
My heart
remains forever
TRUE.

Author Notes
This is a lovely brook that is located out at the Minnesota Arboretum. It looks like an excellent spot to make a proposal. Maybe on that bridge.
This poem is a Free Style Sonnet.
In a Free Style Sonnet, the text is laid out just like a Free Verse, except it has a rhyme scheme. Each stanza is like a line in the Sonnet, so there are 14 stanzas. They actually read as iambic tetrameter. The rhyme scheme is:
