Sonnet The trick to sonnet-writing is to find emotion that defines you; and its art is writing pictures that reveal your mind; but always use a softer sound to start. For sonnets are a metered form, you know, with rhythm as important as the rhyme. They show a smoothness in the ebb and flow that’s been tradition since the dawn of time. You see, each line’s the same, without a break, and ev’ry one’s got five iambic feet; and don’t forget you’ve fourteen lines to make your point, and then the story is complete. The couplet at the end will tell the tale- if that’s not fresh, your sonnet’s flat and stale. Nan (Pilgrim variety) [This message has been edited by Pilgrimage (06-29-2003 12:32 AM).] |

Nan,  Learning accidentally and having fun too. It doesn't get better than that! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

You make it look TOO easy. I think I need a personal lesson. Need a summer break?  [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-29-2003 01:31 PM).] |
