strange sonnet

Post by shakespear »

Strange sonnet

Don't depart O dear! Days are delightful dreams.
Let's live lovely life, lick lips lustfully.
Buy beauty beside bliss, buy big bright beams.
Sing so soft songs, "Siren" start songs slightly.

* * *
You're yap yearn to yoke, years yarn the yellow
Hey hobo here! Have ye heeded hind?
Fight foes for freedom, fall down for fellow.
Can't you come closely? Can't you keep kind?

* * *
My mass's much, Magian maid made me mad.
Tiny titmouse touched torn temper timely.
Save sick single, sinking in sins, still sad.
Rude rook raped roe, rain ran round road roughly.
Can you guess my poem either good or bad?
Don't be shy please! And show your opinion frankly.
our life is like a night mare

Hi!

This is strange poem... I didn't get it, but I noticed sounds... And I don't know what to comment on....
Maybe you hint us what your poem is about? :oops:

Goodevening
And fianlly i get why i didn't understand it {-:


first i miss the tone that i used to you have unique structure which i miss it this time

second you fouce on sounds it's so over react i did not enjoy with ,i belive that mession of poem is to express your ideas in a way help other to react with you .

sorry for those harsh comments but this is my feelings towards ur poem

hi
don't be sorry koz its ur point of view and i respect it and i thnk u r werite koz when we focus on tone we sometimes lose the important thing i.e the idea , the spirit of the poem and the poem will be weak.
really in this poem , as u said , i wanna try something else, new and treating with sounds and tone.
thnx and i wanna u open ur inbox
c u and gd luck

Rich "sound" content
alliterations, consonances, assonances
it's an interesting piece of poem

But the last couplet somehow destroys the continuity and congruity :-(

sonnet (noun): a poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically having ten syllables per line

Well, it's 14 lines ok. And most have 10 syllables.

I think it's a very clever strange sonnet.

But if you intend it to be a sonnet - typically with 14 lines and typically 10 syllables per line (which seems to be what you do intend) - then I think you should try to fix the lines that don't have 10 syllables.

Just my humble opinion, since you ask me to value your sonnet :roll:
