If sonnet it is, then sonnet it'll be,
But before writing, don't forget your tools.
A well written one, you won't disagree,
Is beautiful if you follow the rules.
Introduce your thought in the first quatrain,
But ten syllables you shall not exceed!
And stick to the rule, again and again,
As to the couplet, the structure will lead.
And now remember that without feelings,
A sonnet's nothing but empty and dead,
So as you give it Love's powerful wings
By complexity, your sonnet is fed.
So mixing passion with a lot of time,

I love it, Rasha; it's very skillful and fluent!
But, where's the last line? It must have gotten left off your post somehow.
I am left in suspense, like a hanging chad in the 2000 election! I hope you will find that last line and add it on soon, so I can see it; I'm sure it will be perfect.
Thanks for this, and for all your beautiful postings. I will look forward to that last line.

ah. So that's what a sonnet is? Thankyou. God, this website is so educational. It makes me think that all this time I'm spending on it isn't wasted.
Speaking of education. Where's Hey Hey?

Ima: isn't it obvious?
Lovely work as usual P?
but thou doth not mere toil thy fool nor thee?
