Notes About The Poem

The HexSonnetta Form was created by me more than seven years ago. Here is the link to Shadowpoetry forms and its description if you are interested in trying one!

To Blossom Gold

The poet’s world I’d read about in English class has faded, and alas! It’s very nearly dead. Its golden notes have fled Like blooms from winter’s grass. I’m in a modern time where poets’ lines run free. Although there’s imagery, there’s little use for rhyme, and what was once sublime is now shunned poetry. I long for grass turned cold again to blossom gold. May 22, 2017 For John Hamilton's 'Best rhyming poem May-July 2017' Poetry Contest See "About Poem" for definition of this HexSonnetta form.

Great rhymes Andrea, so true modernists feel non rhyming is superior, but we know better, rhymes will never go out of style for me, great win!

This truly magnificent gem addressing the sad reality of what modern publishers are demanding. To me such action is akin to shooting holes in ones own boat. Your sonnet, sets in me in awe, with its depth, flow, message, heart and rhyme! A fav!!!! TOP CLASS...

Very nice. So I see now that it's still fourteen lines, but six syllables per rather than ten. I've written it on my list of things to attempt in addition to Ottava Rima and my sonnet. I'm back in school all over again!

It's my own invented form, DAle, but I was noticing that many people have tried it already on other websites. I was quite surprised that it has been tried by more than a few folks!!

I would fav this gem if I never fav'éd another by any poet here. Never let it be said that you are not a true poet and a fine sonneteer too.. Love your note and agree in its sad, sad truth. This shunning of rhyme and even classic poetry of old, is a sad tale/reality and borne of folly in my opinion as both are core parts of poetic foundation. This I believe with all my heart and soul.

An artist friend once told me that art is a game with no rules. Billy Shake broke the rules. The Vatican considered English crude; the language of the unwashed masses. So? So write 'till lightning strikes!

Rhyme is sublime. Also rhythm, it creates a song in my head.

Hi Andrea, i love rhyming poetry, i think people may like free verse better for it is easier and it does give you more scope within a write. Although that does seem very funny for many people only like short poetry also. I'm just old fashioned i guess. An excellent write Andrea, showcasing your poetic skill again. Your poetry does blossom gold in all you do. I do like to try many different forms these days but i like to return to rhyme. A 7 and fave. Hugs....Mike. XX

I don’t write a poem without any rhyme The poem with no rhyme is just a wasted time.... Here we go I said it... they can blame me..

Andrea, That is really neat that you created a new poetry form. I will have to try and write some poems in rhyme. :)

yes, sadly so true that rhyming poetry is 'out of fashion' - I prefer reading & writing rhyming verse

It's nice to know there exist some blessed souls who hold the dying art, not in its adulterated form... But its pure golden beauty. Thank you, Andrea

Beautifully said in rhyme about the modern trend in favour of nonrhymed prose poems ... though this very poem of yours can be be made a nice prose by just combining the lines ... So powerfully beautiful ...

You are indeed right about that Free Verse and publishers. I enjoy writing Free Verse, but I like my rhyming poetry as well. I have however only sent in Free Verse poems to contests for that reason. I love your HexSonnetta (trimeter) sonnet. It is beautiful Andrea, and I wish you good luck in the contest. And... I LOVE to write sonnets ;)
