it is very special moment of the inspiration and mind action in order to create a new lovely poem as usual by a brilliant poet such as Madam Susan 10/10 for sharing this amazing piece of work brilliant
I had such difficulty with the mechanics of sonnet writing that I vowed never again... well, we'll see about never! ! ! ! Thank you for your encouragement, Soran, you make a difference when the inspiration is at low ebb. And thank you for the 10! ! ! !
Muse of poetry! ! Acts of love and life, Seeing them. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
This always brings smiles to me, even when it's dark and stormy, you come in with a warm beautiful sunny breeze! .. That leaves your readers smiling! ..Thank you again ever so much for sharing this! .. Ever so very many 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ...............................+++++
I think you all will see me try my hand at a ghazal! ....good, very expressive of the poetic expressions you intended....... than k u dear poetess Susan. tony
Thank you, Tony, it is one of the smoothest poems I have ever written in contrast to the monstrous sonnet I once upon a time and never again wrote.
To write a sonnet with its parameter - ten syllables in a line and with rhyme scheme is difficult ofcourse but you have done it successfully, with humour you have inscribed in this poem is interesting. Let me try to write a sonnet. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words but I still do not feel like trying my hand at another sonnet! ! ! ! ! !
I adore 'poetic licence'....and..... I love Allison Vannest's words.... Poetry is anarchy. Learn the rules and break them. I guess I need to be a little more disciplined and write a sonnet...one day :)
Yes... one day... I use that a lot! That is what I like most in writing- -finding a rule and breaking it EFFECTIVELY.... :)
You can confidently try your hand on any thing Susan! But writing of a sonnet sticking to the strict norms is not a simple task! Confining each line to ten syllables and keeping the rhyme scheme is not that easy! Most of the sonnet writers of today over look the syllable count! Though I have written over 700 poems, there are hardly 5 sonnets and not a single ghazal! Sure, there is excitement in conquering the insurmountable! Wish you all the best Susan....! I know you are serious though you have presented the thing in a lighthearted vein!
I managed to write a sonnet once- -the most horrid thing ever penned. I should post it some time anonymously and watch people run screaming into the hills. I have tried other forms and enjoyed the experience. I salute you for writing 5! It is a noble thing you have done! ! ! Thank you for the encouragement!
You are a true poet Susan.Every thing comes out of your pen is a gem ! !
These words mean so much to me, Bharati. Thank you for your kind support ==coming
I have translated Sonnets but only ever written one, a not very good one either! I don't think I am comfortable with iambics and I tend to write in a style that's more French than English so I avoid English formal verse mostly. A very funny poem!
Hey Tom, I will never compete for any sonnet honors but there are other poem styles that are beautiful and charm the soul, aren't there? Thank you for reading this.
Hi Susan, Sorry It took me so long to Respond to this one, I had to get a dictonary new it was Something Wonerous! ! ! ! and look up Ghazal! ! ! (BOY! ! !) Did I get A Surprise! ! ! ! ! hehehehe! ! ! ! ! InGenius! ! ! ! Oh, How I Love This! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! VERY Creative! ! ! ! ! VERY Funny! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Wonderful! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I am so glad you looked it up- -you can also Google it and get several different instructions on how to write one [I picked the easiest one for me to understand! ] I do hope you try one- -it's rather fun! ! Thank you for your enthusiastic response to this and for all those lovely 10+'s! ! ! !
I am also eagerly looking forward to reading your beautiful ghazal. Well done piece this short poem! (10)
Thank you- I posted it! ! ! It is Thanking-I-Am.... Thank you for reading this piece, I had a bit of fun writing it, And thank you for the 10!
Very clever, Susan. Yes, now you've committed yourself... to make it happen.
Yikes- -I did open myself up for this- -poor ghazal, I might be held responsible for the death of the whole species. Thank you, Bill, for coming by and reading this nit of fun!
my goodness but I sure put my foot in it... maybe I can post something today or tomorrow. Thank you for your generous spirit toward my writing efforts!
Glad you enjoyed this light-hearted verse. Now, judging by the responses here, I am going to have to find out what it is and how to do it! ! ! Thanks for coming by and reading and commenting, I do appreciate it very much.
Wowww. a very creative write. Yes, We'd like to read a ghazal by you. You must try your hands at new forms of writing since you write so well. Enjoyed reading this unique piece.
Hahahahahaha. Teach me to open my mouth. For you, I promise I shall go find out what it is and how to write it and present a [probably mangled] form of one soon. Nosheen, I have told you before what a supportive and encouraging person you are- -and see, here you are encouraging me onwards at the risk of having to read something that will make you cringe. You are a brave being! ! Thank you!
Hey, you were about 1/2 way there! Susan, this is really funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even without sonnetification. Thanks for laugh, I've been smiling for the last 5 minutes. :)
I'm glad I made you laugh! Not only that I caused you to smile for 5 minutes. That's what I call positive results! I think it is easier to make people cry and life gives us enough to cry about so I would rather give my friends the gift of laughter once in a while so life will have a bit of contrast. Thanks Neal!
Susan, This is just so good that even Joyce Kilmer would approve. A great work.
WoW! ! ! ! You just dropped my jaw! ! ! ! That is a killer compliment. WoW! ! ! ! ! Thank you. That makes me want to sit down and write a couple of hundred more poems cuz I love killer compliments! ! ! ! You just made my day! ! ! !
