Let it be a sonnet under the moon
Although it is day and the clouds are here
If Shakespeare did not have these strange ideas
I would not be composting this sonnet
I compare nothing to a summers day
It is a cold Autumn day and is raining
Help me inspiration with ideas
Letting me bave likes for this poetry
Just six more lines to write and it is done
Oh grey and dull skies stop your rain falling
I am hungry not for love but for food
A biscuit or two and a banana
There are also oranges and apples
Let me drink a glass of coca cola
Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss 
You are so good! Shakespeare would be jealous.

My first, and probably only, sonnet. Am not sure if Shakespear had ever had Coca Cola – probably more Mead.

What Shakespeare can do, so can I. I must now have a try at a play “A midsummer’s nights nightmare” perhaps.

Well done! I really like that you abandoned that whole abab cdcd efef gg construct. I think it was Gertrude Stein or maybe Alice B. Toklas that said forced rhymes were like a millstone around the neck of a poet. Your words have weight. They have value. Thank you for sharing them!

Yeah, but wasn’t Gertrude Stein the so-called inventor of that form, “Stream of tediousness?” 😉

Stream of tediousness! I love it! I never heard that one before. You are clearly better read than I on the Lost Generation.

I don’t remember who made up Stream of Tediousness. I think it was a friend who read my letters… I had to teach that stuff so, yeah, it’s an inescapable part of me at this point…

It was a little complicated so I simplified it 😃

I’m working on a sonnet now and I’m trying to follow the Shakespearean rules, but it is really challenging. Are you familiar with Italian sonnets? They have a very interesting rhyme scheme.

I am not familiar with any sonnets, but I speak and understand Italian.
