About the Book

Poetry is both an art and a form of expression. Thomas G. Reischel has created a distinctive poetry collection with over 100 sonnets, blended with photographs that the author himself captured. The collection shows 74 different styles or formats of sonnets which Thomas has identified.

“I hope one can just read the poetry and enjoy it but particularly become emerged in the true beauty of this lovely poetic form,” says Thomas G. Reischel.

A masterpiece that is yet to unfold, Take Flight: The Sonnets perfectly mirrors nature and its grandeur.

Take Flight: The Sonnets

Excerpts

What golden droplets fall from Autumn's veil
To drape in brilliant color 'cross this trail
For shoes to shuffle slowly through them all
A pleasure that's unique to only Fall

These blended hues provide a gorgeous sight
When orange and yellow tinges first ignite
To make the yards and neighborhoods invite
The passersby to marvel with delight

Then Oh, how very wonderful it feels
To have the leaflets crunch beneath our heels
To blow in swirling whirlpools in the breeze
As colors clothe those staying in the trees

Let me walk within this glowing splendor
That only finest artists ever tender.
