Sorry, but no more
rhymes and haikus from me today. I think I'll forgo the
sonnet form from now on. I will need more time to create
10 syllable lines that rhyme.
BTW you're a
poetic genius and the idea of tea time is marvelous and
pumps my creative juices.
Til the next tea time,
I bid you adieu.
:o) *glow*
P.S. Tis sad,
I have an English degree and I can't compose a decent
sonnet. :o(

say man - I was
right!
I've visited Shakespeare's birthplace but
I don't know what a sonnet is and not v. keen on it as
they shoved it down our throats at
school!!

. . . but I shall
tarry to praise
your sally with
verse.
(2) Yet as for sonnets . .
.
iambic pentameter
is 10
syllables.
(3) Five iambic
feet
goes: "kah-BOOM kah-BOOM
kah-BOOM
kah -BOOM kah-BOOM."
POOF

...yet because I want
to show...
...you a new sonnet.
Is this an
acceptable Shakespearean Sonnet?
I knew it was
true
Syllables needed
be 5 long to do
It will
be heeded
Except iambic
Tis more hard to
write
I hope you don't pick
On me for this
blight
The intonation
and stress in a
verse
of iambic run
make me want to
curse.
Her endeth my whine,
Is this sonnet
fine?

over here in fair
England
I might spy Giles one day and say good
day
But the big bad might reduce my communication
capacity to single syllables..
But I think your
gender means you don't have the hormone
problem?
(Does that qualify as
verse?)

you've forced me into
it....I'll have a stiff cuppa after
this..........
I read the notes on poetic
verse,
And saw some vitue in having to
rehearse,
Crafting lines of pondered
thought,
Keeping each idea crisp and short,
So
now I've played my part,
Warped my mind with evil
art,
Tell me wot u know I'd like,
Did you retail
foray end with Spike?
