Every Time You Go Away!

Alone by the river-side
where whispers hear each other bid,
i m caught in the quiet.

I listen to the murmuring waters,
where more is heard 
than uttered.

I hear nothing.
I hear nothing.
All there be is silence!

In bed sorrow returns.
I m reminded that nothing 
can bring back the moments that we shared.

Now, even now, i listen to the dark.
I hear nothing.
I see nothing.
I feel nothing.
The sorrow here does not sleep
...every time you go away.

Debbie Guzzi January 26, 2009 at 3:00 PM One of the best-known sonnet writers is Shakespeare, who wrote 154 of them. A Shakespearean sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line contains ten syllables, and each line is written in iambic pentameter in which a pattern of a non-emphasized syllable followed by an emphasized syllable is repeated five times. The rhyme scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, in which the last two lines are a rhyming couplet. PS I just like discussing I prefer YOUR less rigid concept.

Debbie Guzzi January 26, 2009 at 2:58 PM Sonnet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the song by English band The Verve, see Sonnet (song). The sonnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in lyric poetry from Europe. The term "sonnet" derives from the Occitan word sonet and the Italian word sonetto, both meaning "little song". By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. prt 1
