Tim Ryerson Poet Sonnet

Dream On, Oh Let Me Dream On

It was all a mistake, I dream
A misunderstanding it seems
"You dreamt the whole thing, for god's sake!
Serves you right for not staying awake!
Bad things happen when you fall asleep
So dry it up hon, why do you weep
Don't you know God has made a new rule?
I'm back you stubborn old fool!
It never was and it never shall be
Pretty nice rule there, don't you agree?"

"I'm awake!" I'm awake!" I scream
(Silly boy, its only a dream)

***This is not a true sonnet because of the rhyme scheme
but I'm lazy

Debbie Guzzi January 24, 2014 at 9:53 PM Tim, can you please come work with us on a Crown of Sonnets? Please read my blog we could use your advise as we write, but I'd really like you to have a go at once of the verses, we are competing 2 at a time for each spot, maybe 3..let me know, one way or the other? Light & Love

Debbie Guzzi June 21, 2012 at 2:33 PM It's OK Tim modern sonnets can have any end rhyme pattern..I'd just group it in 4 lines/ 4 lines/ 4lines then the couplet as you have it! The humour is contagious. Light & Love
