** An exercise: write a sonnet in iambic pentameter.
With heavy heart, I offer my remorse,
for I'm too tired to dance this weary eve.
The echoes of my workday's tireless chores
linger, leaving naught but fatigue's relief.
Oh, believe me, I hate to disappoint,
for the music tempts me to sway and dance.
But the hours I've toiled, each task and each point,
have drained me to a tired nudnik, perchance.
My spirit, once bright, now longs for respite,
to find solace in rest and heal my self.
Though my love for dance burns hot like cordite,
exhaustion demands I stay on the shelf.
Forgive me, my friend, tonight I must rest,
but once refreshed, we’ll fete and dance with zest.

Webster: Nudnik = a boring person
Unlikely anyone would look for me
But if they did I'd not be hard to see
Catching my attention might be harder
As it is seldom with it's bodied partner
One possibly could find me in a book
Distracting me might garner you a look
If looking from a sub under the sea
The bottom is the place where I will be
Go into outer space and search the stars
My secret hang out is the planet Mars
If music is a place where you elope
I'll be hanging on the passing notes
Since time has now become my enemy
I often hide inside a memory
Should you see me sitting near a stream
You'll find I have withdrawn into a dream
To say that you have found me might be true
But truth be told, you only have these clues

In beautiful surroundings, sitting there,
sweet fragrance of carnations filled the air.
The perfume stirred romantic feelings while
we waited quietly. But soon a smile
when all at once we heard the organ chime.
Crescendo grew with the familiar rhyme
and rhythm of their song to walk the aisle.
A vision to behold! In wedding style
arrived the handsome groom and lovely bride,
bouquet of light pink roses held with pride.
Carnations, roses, music, marriage rite...
Our senses overflowed with sheer delight!
