    Hi Ulla. I love sonnets too and have always thought they needed to be about abstract themes of love, glory and death, but I found myself writing this in sonnet form about halfway through the process... LOL. Who knew that would happen? I was focused on the content. Thank you, sweet Ulla!!

A fine sonnet pointing the way to Fanstory poets and writers and finding our favourites is easy and we can indulge in their words. A tribute to all writers here and your well rhymed and metered sonnet is a joy to read, love Dolly x

Thank you for sharing this! I have been poeting on here for only a few years, off and on due to busy-ness, but I have time now to seriously dive in and learn more than just rhyming poems! I searched internet for a poetry workbook, but I like your idea much better. I can't wait to start learning from the talented writers on here. Thank you for the encouragement. It's exactly what I needed:)

I must admit I've never done that before, there's an awful lot of my poetry to wade through heh heh, my PC has more. But anyway, the form may be hard to find. Well done though Melissa, very helpful post my friend, blessings Roy

    Thank you Roy. I like to go to other people's portfolios and read some of their older pieces. I get inspired that way. Thanks again.

I am sure this will be most helpful, especially to newer members who bare not aware of the treasure lying in there just waiting to be copied or used as an example to write this poem and the detailed author's note was an excellent and helpful idea.

Thank you for your inspiration and your spirit of sharing. Very useful advice to newer writers, like myself, in order to link up with diverse creativity and that this be reciprocal.

I invite you to have I look at a poem I posted earlier on this morning, it's called: Reindeer Walker Joik.

On that note, I am going to have a look at your 2020 journey poem, as journey interests me.
So glad to have seen this poem, today of all days. You have inspired me with your words today.

Not only a poem, but also a signpost, and one that helps the newbie to cut through the jungle you found in getting to the good bits. Enjoyed your poem. Well done.
