Hi there, I wrote a sonnet in class and Balladeer couldn't find anything, not anything wrong with it, so I thought I brag a bit and put it up here

Sorry I haven't been replying to your poems lately. I'll tell you all about it later on. Nothing serious, but I'm only one person with too little time to do everything I like to do. So here's my poem.

I'll try one more before this month will end,
to see if I will get it right this time.
I always struggle, for my lines will bend,
while pondering I am, about good rhyme.

I have to think about the meter flow.
It rhymes a - b - a - b, c - d - c - d,
e - f - e - f, two g's at end of row.
I'm going mad, I think, so pity me.

And that's not all, you have to think of theme
It has to be a problem of some kind
It's really sad and even roams my dream
I have to find solutions in my mind

I'm nearly finished, just one line to write
I hope my theme, my lines and rhyme flow tight

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

Well done Titia. You rally have a flair for this type of writing.

never try to teach a pig to sing
it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

of course there's nothing wrong with it!
It's a great sonnet. Time? What's that?
