0380 Sonnet: Katrina To Marc Comments

Or for poetic correctness: 'Ah, Marc! Remember? Splashing through the waves...

Yes, we are permitted some variations - you can think of it as a missing first weak syllable, for emphasis; or musically, as a beat in the dash-pause... and I hope, not too much da-dum to disturb Racine's refined French ear...

I like it! I'll study it more carefully for I suspect you put in the classical english sonnet pentametric pattern. da-dum da-dum da-dum da-dum da-dum. although 'Marc- ' at the beginning sounds trochaic to me, or am I even wrong about my own name? But I think exception are allowed from line to line or am I mistaken? It's a good one: Anyway better than my similar efforts. Sincerely R.
