oh no, again?
i have struggled all my writing life to avoid being put in a box
wrapped up neatly and packed off you might say
i rebelled against metre, i rebelled against rhyme
i even rebelled against writing in a line
but powers the great they have the final word
and a SONNET, good mama is what they decreed
that my mind should wrestle with
my brain turn to mush.
BUT audacious and wily as ever i was
i hem and i haw and i put in a clause
i'll write you a SONNET, good men, i say
but rhyme, no they won't, good men, no way
unmetered and rambly my lines will be
and then my SONNET will flow free.

too good...am proud of ya :D this thing doesnt le me leave a name...weird....uknowho
I rushed over as soon as I heard the news .... but I'm only a freelance poet and not a professional one ... I didn't even know what a sonnet was until I looked it up right now ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet
If I knew anything on meters and rhyme schemes, I would've helped out ...
But, I know that you can do anything! ... even rhyme as required for a sonnet ... All the very best ...
As for a subject to base it on ... how about the downfall of a poet smitten with love ... his journey to the depths of hell ... his resurrection ... if u don't write on this .,.. I think I will ... :)
All da Best!
Medz thanks for kind words. It means so much to hear from you. This is a wonderful work..btw what is it named as .. :)
These days I find this very typical in your posts.. you start em with NO caps, highlighting only as you feel like.. any specific reason..jus curious. It renders certain effect.
brilliantly brilliant!!
p.s. i never got to know why actually i like sonnets so much... maybe coz i feel life is so much like a sonnet... atleast mine... no matter it rhymes or not... it goes on n' on... n' then it stops... just like that!... without much of an agenda.
but honest i shall be... if this thing is gettin onto somethin like i liked "your" sonnet coz i like "sonnets" in general will be so wrong... for even if i never liked sonnets... i'd have still liked this one..particularly..

@ anon- i have a feeling this is tanima..yeah?
@ anup..rushed over as soon as u heard..lol...wat a crisis innit!!! BTW i did write a sonnet- modelled on the lines of this one..my poetry tutor features prominiently in it...hope he will be tickled pink!!!!
@ vinxie- yeahcause i write my psots directly onto blogger its much more reliable than rediff that way.also, i find caps and punctuation restricting as well as rhyme et al ;)..and yeah ur last pest was good work buddy boy ;)
@ d'yer.. (blush) thanks..although my fiction tutor tells me my prose has a sonnet like feel to it..maybe im wedding poetry and prose together in a way that works for me
