PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

W.B. gave me the first 12 lines for my sonnet (why he didn't do one, I know not), but in order to not directly copy him, I reversed the order of his lines, still trying to feel his meaning, but not mentioning "Old Age"!! (shudder!). I wanted to stress the agelessness of Truth & Love. The whole concept was prompted by a response, by K. Tinsley, to a "Gimme 10" challenge; hers reminded me MUCH of this Yeats piece.  And-on-and-on-and-on.... How did I do??

K., sometimes the "challenge" of many words is better than merely the "10".
(Response to "My Treasure", by K. A. Tinsley. Six lines + six lines, and extended slightly (just like me).

From lines 10, 11, & 12, those of you who know of "The Challenge" are hereby challenged!!  These are quotes from old love-letters I found.

Whose Muse? I think this "Quatrain / quatrain / couplet / couplet / couplet"  is Specerian-form;  any correctors??

From a kernel of Edna St Vincent Millay, Sonnet XVIII.

my first sonnet

Composed on March 29, 2002...For who else but my Daphne!

A decent Sonnet I think.

Just a reflection on those, like myself, for whom writing can be cathartic.
