Beauty: Old vs New
Attempted Sonnet: 12-syllables, rhymed15 total reviews
Comment from Bill Schott
This sorta sonnet, Beauty: Old versus New, takes a stand here, perhaps, for the natural advancement of a genus through the , albeit monitored, seed-to-root method. Cherries for everyone.

Hi! Thank you :)

That's the way I like to write too; no stress and just write!! Often works out better than if I try to plan what I'm going to write. Your poem flows easily and easy to read.

Hi Alicia. I know next to nothing about sonnets, but I did enjoy yours. Image (top and bottom) are appealing. It seems cherry trees regenerate themselves when the fruit drops to the ground. No need to plant anything--I guess that's the old way and the easier way. Now chocolate covered cherries are another matter. That requires a lot of work and I'd rather buy them from somebody who knows what they're doing. I found your sonnet to be well rhymed, interesting, playful, and original. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn! I didn't know that about cherry trees. We had oranges, crab apples, peaches, mango growing up... However, it was cherry blosson season and start to cherry season. So I had to write about them. Chocolate covered cherries with the liquor are addictive. Thank you. Hearts & hugs, Alicia :)

I'm glad to see you are back. Hugs, Marilyn

Well done Alicia
Comment from Dutchie
Lovely poem, Alicia. O yes I lover cherries, in fact I'm fond of all fruit.
But a lot has changed... In my opinion the fruit is not so tasty as in the past. The dutch fruit is exported and we get fruit here from all over the world. But anyway I love it. Yep let us spring forward with the old ways and enjoy it. Hugs Fia

Hi Fia! There are plenty different types of cherries. I heard that Rainer Cherries from Washington are the best in America. They have a candy called Chukar Cherries that's amazing. The newest cherry candy is in Pharmacies brandname Brookside. Idk if it's international, but the candy section is very international here now. Thank you. Hugs, Alicia :)
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fourteen line poem. It is not a real sonnet as it has to be in iambic meter stressed an unstressed. I like the choice of your subject, cherries is my favorite fruit in any form.

I like your reflection that takes us from childhood memories of being carefree in a garden and the traditional ways of growing. And now much of the old ways are replaced by modern ways. But I agree with your conclusion that we should cherish the good things of the past as we live with the new.

I just bought fresh cherries and I am going to try to be tempted by them instead of candy! I could visualize you in the garden in your "flowy, flaxseed dress" blending "old ways" with new "trends". Cheers- Joan

Comment from bichonfrisegirl
A sixth star to you, Alicia, for a unique premise. In the telling of a walk through the garden you take your reader on a relaxed and sunny trip down memory lane to a simpler time when one would start growing their own trees from seedlings and fruit pits. My father started growing his fruit trees (you name it, he had it) that way, and would always take great delight in strolling through his garden each day after work to see the fruits of his labor.
Your poem pays homage to our elders and the old way of doing things (which sometimes still is best). You created some wonderful imagery for your reader with, "I roam through the garden barefoot and carefree in a flowy flaxseed dress ornate with bright beads." "and cherry wine brings that charmer the right answer" ... this made me smile.
Great poem! You are wise beyond your years.
Hugs,
Connie

Comment from Kamisah Karim
Yes, you are right.The first thing I noticed was the stressed and unstressed not adhered to.Well, fret not.I tried a sonnet too but was told about this as well. I read about it and still crawling with the notes.Not so easy for me because I am still not well equipped with my vocabulary list.
Anyway, the syllable count and rhyme are all great. The glaring effect of the new and the old to me is the old made us appreciate those things we worked hard to get. Something the new easier way cannot seemed to teach our younger generations.I always say to my kids, Techonology, invented by geniuses to make others lazier and dumber.
Thank you for sharing.
