A sonnet is fourteen lines in any of several fixed verse or rhyme schemes,
characteristically expressing a single theme or Idea.

So for an exercise I took a simple fourteen line as a starting place,
And twisted it’s shape.
Follow along, if you care to…


~Body of a Sonnet~

I hear her foot fall,
Striding in heels of black.
Coming down the hall,
I’m taken quite aback;
Leather torso filling
Ample bosom spilling
Over for eyes delight,
Carried by legs in silk
Face white as milk,
Vision that last into the night
I hear the passing footfalls
As they go quickly passed my door,
Another voice to her calls,
Still alone as I was before.

~Twisted Body of a Sonnet~

I hear her
foot falling, in heels of black.
She’s Striding
Coming down the darken hall,
Seeing her nothing of lack;
More filling
Leather torso with spilling
Ample bosom for delight,
legs in silk
Face as milk,
Vision that last into night
the passing
I hear footfalls as they go
quickly passed my door, I know,
Another voice
to her calls, she answers him
Still alone,
Alone as I was before.


~Twisting Further~

Noise on the wood steps out back
I hear her
foot falling, in Shades of black.
She’s Striding
Seeing there’s nothing she lacks;
Coming down the darken sprawl,
Cruel Riding,
Of taking them one and all.

Ample bosom for delight,
pale as milk,
Vision that last into night
Leather torso over fills,
legs in silk
panties of the finest frills

Longing fiery eye that kills
Lovers force,
images of her lusting that spills
to the ugly dark hiding
lost of choice,
lost of chance, but still abiding.

Lost fire.

I hear footfalls as they go
quickly passed my door, I know,
Another voice
to her calls, she answers him
Still alone,
Alone as I was before.

I love to watch you at play, my friend! I too, enjoy experimenting, and I'm going to keep this one, as I found it interesting, the way meaning changed from one example to another. Thanks again!

Excellent writing Professor!! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Thank you, Sea,
You are kind with your praise on my little twisting of words,

Thank you, Alan,
Pleased you like my exercise with forms,

Thank you, Serenity,
I enjoy that you enjoy,
I guess I keep playing so I won’t stagnate
Like a forgotten pool.
As for changing meaning,
They’re all about a woman walking by,
Lets see, a woman dressed in black, wonder whom that might be?

Thank you, Startime,
Glad you liked, but I must admit, this is rather old
like me and just dusted off and represented.

Thank you, Nightshade,
You slipped in while I was answering the others,
But I am no less pleased by your enjoyment of my humble words.

I loved all three, and want an encore please but with another poem of course, it will give you something to do, but this time a lady in white? Paleze - this was absolutely terrific, and again - read them out loud and all three are so distinctly different (I love reading yours out loud.)

Live today like it was your last day on earth!
