That Woman

Her heart a fortress
Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis
By roses and compliments
A thousand lovely sonnets
Wouldn’t make a difference

Such sonnets it would sing!
But know that should you give it ear,
'Tis an empty, self-filled thing...

but sonnets were his  favourite mode

Lim'Rik Flats Salute To Real Poeters

from down on the flats we can see
high-on-the-hills poetry
sonnets like mansions
sestinas in stanchions
they fill our dulled hearts with much glee

Premium Member Written in the Wrong Key


I've written Sonnets in C Major key ~ funeral music to me

No notes on bars in flats or sharps ~ fingered morbidly sour on stringed harps

Premium Member On John Lawless' Sonnets

Behind a customary pen that bites
    its victims, left to bleed
  in alleys dark, lurks a 
    denizen of forest nights ~
    his sonnets' radiance, purest white

I Dont Know

we cease to grow once we
finish the structured education
the only thing you do then
is to accumulate wealth
and spoil your children
 by instilling the value
of accumulation

Summer Song

Summer Song

Serenade slowly sweet songstress,

Sing soft sombre sonnets,

Something, somehow, someone  shares,

Seduced somewhat, songbird spirit,

Steadily sending summer sprung.

Premium Member Sonnet

Shall sonnets fairer be?
Surely the muse thought so:
Sweet lines arranged with care,
Sublime quatrains progress,
Suggestively move minds,
Seed expectations, then
Surprise! A couplet stuns…

Premium Member Spring Sonnet

A hundred winter poems
snuggled under warm blankets
sprout a thousand spring poems
of bud and blooming,
the earth warming,
purring in puddles of kittens,
singing sonnets 
of a yellowing sun.

Death As Your Gift:

WITHOUT TALKING TO U AM DYING

EVERY MINUTE OF THIS MOMENT IS PAINING

INSTEAD OF GIVING THIS PAIN 

PLEASE GIVE ME A DEATH AS YOUR GIFT

I'LL TAKE THAT  HAPPILY 

BECAUSE YOU ARE MY BREATH

Premium Member Give Me Wings


Fill my heart with love's light
before darkness leads it astray.
Quill me lines of romantic Sonnets
meant to chase glowering clouds away.
Offer me wings so that I might take flight.

A Famous Poetess

With her timeless sonnets, timeless beauty 
And flames which engulfed her and encouraged her, 
She spreads her wings across the centuries 
Flying, asking the whole world, not to let her verse 
Disappear and disperse

Premium Member Secret of Rhyming

A rhyming scheme defines my style
Where magic drips on quill’s potion,
If quintains and sonnets beguile
Hands pray for meter’s salvation,
This secret I keep, to win the throne!

London born,Lancashire bred
Into Chaucer's footsteps,others he led
Medieval prosody,his 'little song' said-
Long may such sonnets be heard
Of the fountainhead of English poetic words.

At the Midnight Stroll

At the midnight hour
The clock strikes
I run down the stairs
Trip and fall

Off come the shoes
My stocking are torn
But I walk on
I have grace and style


As you can see
My head is held high
For all the world to see
At the midnight hour

Boudoir Antics

He was poetically intolerant,
she thought herself an Emily
writing sonnets 'how do I love...'
he indulged her feeble whimsies
in light of other finessed talents, 
essentially, larks amidst boudoir's  
uncommonly emboldened expertise

Premium Member Thunder

"Be still my heart!" 
The thunder, the splatter, 
all the drenching liquid matter -- 

then the storm passes, 
and out come beautiful lasses,  
clipping roses for bonnets, 
choosing beaus for dearer sonnets -- it's really about love --
