OK - the consensus is sonnets... Let's do sonnets for the first half of May (but how about doing a variation and deviating from the standard Shakespearean format)...  For the second half, I like Doreen's suggestion - How about some sound devices?... We can have a great time with alliteration.. In June we can do ballads - How's that sound?? So - Who's in for the first round? Sonnets it shall be... [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 04-29-2000).] |

I'm in for an Italian sonnet  Although I think the people signing up for the first time for sonnets would like the English sonnet, so I'm in for that one too.  Ballads in June ? Yeahhhhhhh ! Could you please explain "sound devices" ? I have no idea what that means. LOL [This message has been edited by Munda (edited 04-29-2000).] |

If I may, I should love to join this class again....I've always wanted to write a sonnet! The other things you mentioned grab my interest too!! When do we start?

A question from the ignorant one. What kind of sonnet are we doing and what is the format? Are we to choose? Liz |

Please, can it be English? I'd give the others a try, but I'm afraid it wouldn't do much good. ~Gene |

Pete: It is REALLY good to see you back. Don't fret the thumbtacks ... I'm turning over a new leaf.  Gene: If she lets you write and English sonnet I think it ought to be in MODERN English. Nice to see you in the Workshop.Nan: Italian/Petrarchan sonnets are relatively tough and I see quite a few new faces in here ... maybe you ought to allow us to choose our format. Just a suggestion.

Oh, I just stumbled on this. Am I too late? Can I still sign up? And are there "rules of the workshop" I should know (other than about spitballs?) |
