Oh Sonnet

by Kasie   Jan 5, 2017


Oh sonnet, what are you doing to me?
~~~
Confusing thee with thy rhythms and rhymes.

Thy tightened grasp upon thy pen needs free,
~~~
Please bestow upon me consent of thine.

I beg of you to free me from this place,
~~~
Rhythms and rhymes shall not be taken vain.

Swearing unto you, I shall heed thy pace,
~~~
For I shall take my time and not constrain.

Mistakes I shall make, but I won't give in,
~~~
Fighting your sword, ev'ry step of the way.

Thy battle is yours, the war I shall win,

Harmonic peace shall come to me that day.

~~~

Practice makes perfect, I shall always try,
~~~
Until then dear friend, I shall bid goodbye.

By Kasie

I know the rhythm is not completely right, but I thought I would have a little fun with it. The thought of arguing with a sonnet made me laugh, so I thought I would post it anyways.

    Kasie, You are right these sonnets are a 'battle' you may have clear intentions in your mind, but the form throws you a different way. My most recent one is terrible and no matter how I tweak it won't say it my way. How to fix this? Sometimes it's best to start over. With you're however, it's imperfections suit the theme. It's almost like it's a collaboration, you and a sonnet! Lol

    Well done, keep fighting.

    I am not paying attention to structure or if the rules were well done. I only read for pure pleasure and I like what I read. I like the conversation.

      Thank you, I'm still have much to learn about sonnets. But this one in particular is just to give a little laugh. It's the way I feel when trying to write them, I feel like I'm pleading and battling with them.

    Kasie, very nice! I loved the way you had this conversation with the dreaded sonnet imploring it to allow you to free verse (my favorite BTW). Using old English added a lot of fun to the write too-well done-

      Thank you, free verse is my favorite as well. I tend to get intimidated by the rules of certain styles. I feel that my best work are the ones I am allowed to to write my own way.
