Lisa Lee Poet Sonnet

Bit Coin

Planners hath much to quarrel and to quill,                        
Yet, not know their own eye or trailed hand,                                      
Doth quickly consume an unfathomed land.                            
Is it right to put ax to tree or ground to till?                                    
Nay ev'n hearing a next door neighbor's will?                               
Seeing not his son's labor thru a torrent land,                       
Fills sufficient stores, and hath more to demand.        (Reworked and shortened 5/14/2014)
Having, gets new glory and tells him nay to feel:                
Ev'n snow covered tops doth ask why choose                        
Logs without recall of the past weighted track;               
Felled cut timber, nay know where they're going      
To light;  Now, acorns hath much more to loose     
And doth value truest todays' sorrowed lack,                
Gives vast to man, more than morsel or bit coin.

Andrea Dietrich May 13, 2014 at 7:27 PM YOur lines were way too long, sweetie. Sonnets typically are not more than ten syllables per line. Maybe you can do a shorter one next time for a sonnet contest! Lisa Lee May 13, 2014 at 8:28 PM Thank you, Andrea for helping explain this to me. That must have been what he meant when he said, "Metered". Ok..good idea...I will practice. I only started writing just a few years ago...I've got a lot to learn! I'll start with the definitions section and go from there. Thanks again, Andrea! Hugs. :)
