Andrea Sonneteer

I had wanted to celebrate Andrea Dietrich’s special birthday with a tribute poem. She celebrated reaching that age of retirement many long for. At the time I was dealing with the loss of my son and the hospitalization of my stepson who was gravely ill and her birthday, September 5th, passed me by. Now that

The Sonneteer

Once I was a mouseketeer
But now
I am a Sonneteer
With fourteen lines of rhyme
Finding poetry sublime
Creating memories of time
All new and never mimed
That would be a crime
I do this to pastime
With words that 
Twist and intertwine
In the meantime
I am thinking of bedtime
Needing relaxation time

This is why I am a, 
Sonneteer

Encounter With a Sonneteer

I recite and read aloud,
wander, lonely as a cloud,
then emulate and create
as memory stimulates;
Swim against poetry's tide
therein,an enigma hide,
perhaps,a step too far,with
Tennyson,crossing the bar;
I dream on Will's sonnet verse,
figuratively,sweet and terse,
lazing life away,with songs
compared to a summer's day.

To conjure an opening line
ever,remembered,as mine.

Song of a Sonneteer

so long 
           ago
among
        the lilies
of
an antique land-
smiling
         still
with love
             to show

that fairest

Easter Sonneteer

heaven 
     appointed
such goldly
          grace
in your
      path
        of flight
*
so calm
     so free
from
  a weary chase
place
to
place
to this
peaceful
       shore
*

Dear Sonneteer

Dear Sonneteer 

How do I write a good sonnet?
When I don't consider myself a poet
Cuz I'm not skilled in juggling words that rhymes
Or think out tunes that perfectly chimes

I've heard that its not hard afterall,
That I just have to have the gall
To thread on its fourteen lines
Scheming my feelings through its pines

Well, I know that

Reflections From a Toiling Sonneteer

One’s poetry not always will unfold
beneath its author’s pen as some suppose.
And poetry one is to yet behold
might slowly bloom before one plucks that rose.

At times the lines come breech, the labor hard.
A trial of thought; a repositioning
of words emerging, offspring of the bard!
And then at last, the poet’s heart will sing.

The poet must write

Dear Sonneteer

I wonder. . . can you take me to a world 
where ladies fair with ringlets in their hair,
with graceful shoulders bared and necks bepearled
wear gowns that billow as they dance on air?
Around the ballroom floor these girls are swirled
upon the arms of men most debonair!
Such coy sidelong looks to their gents they give,
for lust

A Fellow Sonneteer - the Linton Lassie

Here’s to Margaret - the Linton lassie.
She hails from the lovely land down under.
She’s a sweetie, and I bet she’s classy,
since she pens her poems like a wonder.

I met awesome poets when I came here,
but none like Marge, for she is much like me.
She’s both a poetess and sonneteer
who writes in forms of classic poetry.

Sonneteer of Another Era

I'm the sonneteer of another era,
Struggling for fame and dreaming of glories...
Living free in prosperous America,
Where there's hunger for interesting stories.


Invite me to share yours as thrills resume;
I will give my opinion anytime,
But perfect syllables count and strict rhyme scheme
Are required for rhythm to happily chime.


Petrarch and Shakespeare were the greatest
Poets who created remarkable sonnets;
