The Dream (Sonnet - Spenserian)

Parenthesis: Changzhou City and Tian Mu Lake do exist on the delta of the Yangtze river. I have never been there, it is deja-vu as this all appeared in a dream to me. So I cannot comment on the actual scenery at the lake.

The Dream:

With a new dawn, another day awaits
Two thousand five hundred years history
See beautiful Changzhou on Yangtze straits
River merging in sea of salty tears

The might has cast over so many years
Scenic Tian Mu Lake, a sight for your eyes
Tranquility, natural wonders appears
See the larks fly by, letting out their cries

Mirror reflection of the clear blue skies
Willows swaying softly and so ghostly
The time that is spent here, it fleets and flies
However you will see locals mostly

But this is all a dream that comes to me
I still have yet to visit, don't you see?

Sonnet - Spenserian Style
It has 14 lines. It was named after the poet - Edmund Spenser because he used a rhyming scheme of ababbcbc/cdcdee. There are 10 syllables to a line.
