The Nor'wester - A sonnet


"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
I would once wonder, I would contemplate
if it was just to see thee in the beauty of may,
for "thou art more lovely and more temparate"!
Alas! I would once summer's beauty defy -
drunk in thee, for thy to me was untiring;
eternal, even death to me would fail to deny.
li'l would I know, fate against me conspiring!
Now when I watch summers passing by,
I search thee in the bright sun, the skies fair.
Its then that I realize how foolish was I,
To think of thee as my golden summer.
No, in a summer's eve, only a nor'wester is thee,
that destroys everything - as thee hath destroyed me!

First of all, i request you to neglect any grammatical error (if comes) in this comment. Now come to the point ->

I welcome you in this literature world. You have done justice with this sonnet. Once Shakespeare wrote a sonnet "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" ,that sonnet was in the context of love and the beauty of beloved. I appreciate this sonnet , because u went in the opposite direction , but the soul of sonnet is unpurtubed and safe. I know , one starts complaining to the nature , when something hurts in his/her heart. But that pain is paid off, if some precious poems come out of it.

No, in a summer's eve, only a nor'wester is thee,
that destroys everything - as thee hath destroyed me!

Beautiful!.
Waiting for the next ---
