Nostalgia held my hand and walked with me in search of love, the first time it was mine. Our path meandered through my memory; we stopped at each and every tell-tale sign: at every friend I thought that I would keep, at every hand my fingers would entwine. I replayed all my kisses, quick or deep. I re-read all my poems, every line; but all the signs of love revealed the truth that what I thought was love was just a shade, and āfirst loveā which I thought Iād find in youth was not in any memory Iād made. Nostalgia left and now I see itās true; my first true love is here and now, with you.
Scott Ennis, a dedicated writer, has playfully penned more sonnets than even Shakespeare himself, and it's no coincidence that 'Sonnettics' is a clever anagram of his name. Scott, a former paratrooper in the U.S. Army, has also embraced endurance athletics, achieving remarkable milestones, including the Boston Marathon and the Ironman Triathlon. In 2010, he exhibited incredible resilience, bouncing back from a near-fatal accident, and today, he lives with a TBI.
