Penning Sonnets Or Pinning The Tails To Sonnets Poem by Susan Williams
Penning Sonnets Or Pinning The Tails To Sonnets
.
I respect those poets
who can pen sonnets
and other rigidly ruled poems-
They are extremely talented
to be able to do this
and still enjoy the write! !
They have my utmost respect.
my admiration is unchecked.
Me?
I am not at all respectable
I find it hard to be simultaneously
coherent,
and poetic
and emotionally moving,
when fitting syllables and rhymes into rigid formats!
It's like trying to fit a hypo into a corset
if you ask me.

Excellent. I have no words beyond the precise remarks of poet Smoky Hoss. Top score!
So true. Very good... and by the way, what ever style you are, keep it up, your words are wonderful. Your poems, pure passion. Your heart shines through!
Wow! ! ! Smoky, you always lift up my heart and spirits---now if only you would be the editor at a huge publishing house and read my book series! ! ! ! ! ! !
Profound insightful thoughts set aside for deep reflective thought..
As you rightly observed, penning sonnets is not an easy task if one sticks to the accepted pattern rigorously. I could write only five or six sonnets so far adhering to the right syllable count and rhythm. Your comparison at the end is quite apt Susan! A well adjudged write on sonnets....! Formality and strict adherence to rules always destroy spontaneity! A sure 10
I thank you for your kindness but I must admit to a certain lack of talent for getting fire and emotion across when stuffing words into cages. Thank you for enjoying me at my level. I appreciate it!

Often, I have thought The very same thing, There are those, Who Cannot Be caged by form, It would obliterate, Their spontaneous, Brilliancy And their very Song. So sing on And may freedom, forever Bless, your heartfelt song! Loved every line Even if you are not Respectable, To syllables and rhyme.
