Debbie Guzzi Poet Sonnet

Romance Novel

A snow bound silence descends now
upon my hallowed home,
the traffic's gone, the streets unplowed
and I'm engrossed in tomes.

A ribald tale of myst'ry roils
the knights have charged the breech
the bard sings tall tales of old
of maiden's love's unleashed.

The pendants mark the battles course
as Saxons face the Celts
unarmored men fought Saxon's, Norse
in naught but paint and pelts.

And so it was, and so it is
as men live or die for a kiss.

Debbie Guzzi January 21, 2012 at 5:56 PM see those 2 complicated words [trimeter 3/ tetrameter 4] they are only indicators of how iambic feet are in a line 1 iambic foot is 1 grouping of [unstress STRESS] which literarily means 2 syllables line 1 [a SNOW]
