zanya: Dying to try out the noble art of sonnet writing but don't know where to start ? zanya
    Mustang Patty: read some of the great examples here AND go to shadowpoetry.com for a complete description of the poetic form -
    michaelcahill: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

    Read that line over and over and get familiar with the rhythm/the beat of it.

    daDUM, daDUM etc

    it's an unstressed syllable or a soft syllable followed by a stressed or a hard syllable

    but SOFT what LIGHT on YONder WINdow BREAKS

    try slapping your knees when you say it ... your left knee for the soft syllable, your right knee for the hard.

    Get that ryhthm and you've got what you need to write a sonnet. It's the key.

    I know this sounds nuts, but some people get it easy and others ... LOL, it took me over a year!!!! -
    kiwisteveh: I thought a sonnet might be nice to write;
    I put my pen to paper, had a go.
    And lo, although the words were rather trite,
    It just flowed out like honey, even so.

    I went dee-DUM like Mikey says above.
    And counted five times two must equal ten.
    I wrote about some mushy stuff like love,
    I got the first four lines and then again.

    And then some people say I have to turn.
    Perhaps my lovers quarrel, fall apart.
    But love, if true, within the heart will burn,
    They say we'll make it if we're heart to heart!

    And there, I've done it, Sonnet number one,
    Completed though I've only just begun! -
    zanya: Great... love the responses to my newbie sonneteer plea!!!! zanya -
