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...

Premium Member 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. Copyright © Brian Strand | Year Posted 2010 Post Comments...

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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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...

Premium Member 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. One...

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; Read...
