Would you care to comment on a Petrachan Sonnet?

When you said this morning, "No Sonnets for the moment," you meant "the moment!"

The Sonnet is one of my favorite 'fixed' forms. For a reason unknown to me, I prefer the English (Shakespearean) Sonnet. However, you have the rhyme and form down pat and convey the important message that we must participate in our own destiny and take risks or we will never 'fly."

oddly enough, I was just going through my poetry notebook the last few days...trying to make some sense of it...and I came across the definition and way to write a Petrachan Sonnet.

nicely done

I enjoyed the read, the story told is sweet

*I have not been able to write a good sonnet, though I have made a FEW attempts. I will leave the sonnet writing to those who can...I adore them so!*

I thought this was excellent. I got a bit ensnared on "And scheme escape from folly’s strangling hold" because I read it as if it were escaped schemes as opposed to schemes OF escape, but once I realized my mistake I realized it was all me.

Good job. I love when people try a relatively new form for them and it really flies.

Thanks for sharing.

Having been caught a few times in others webs I can feel for the moth, or empathize.

I've not done this form before. Must try it. You, of course, always make them seem easy. This is good!

You placed a scene of events in my mind. Great stuff here CS!

very good-a cut above your usual work

You kept your wings.
