Janice Canerdy Poet Pleiades

Sonnet

Shakespearean’s my fave.
Specific rules apply.
Stick with iambic feet.
Syllables? Ten per line
Standards say three quatrains.
See rules for how they rhyme!
Summarize with couplet.

John Watt February 19, 2022 at 7:14 PM Excellent construction within the strict constraints. Of all the forms I love the sonnet most, and was so happy to see you and Connie both win with your Pleiades entries. Nice synopsis of sonnet rules and a lovely tip of the hat to the Bard. Congrats!

Tom Cunningham January 19, 2022 at 12:46 AM Great tribute to the bard Janice, I live about 25 mins from Stratford on Avon. The Avon flows through our town. Tom Janice Canerdy January 19, 2022 at 9:30 PM Wow! You live near a site that, I presume, draws a lot of tourists! Thanks so much, Tom. Janice
