Sonnets

Latest Additions
 A selection of 'sonnets' (I use the term loosely, as they conform to the definition of a sonnet, but could not hope to reach the heights of ones by Shakespeare or Donne), constructed on the spur of the moment, sometimes provoked by experience, otherwise dictated by peculiar mental rhythm and flexibility. Harshly written, crudely rhymed, but here they are!
SONNET 53

Fraight with tension, the night wanders on,
Afraid to bring the condemning sunlight,
That will bring closure to our Babylon,
And cease love's shy and stealthy fight....
Author's Note:
Sonnets about the unsurety of passion, the loss of love, and the coming of the New Year.

For all those who practised 'Precis Writing' in "Prose", a Sonnet is just the poem meant for you; sleek, subtle, sweet and precise. but , i think it ought to have a title..so thatthe reader looks for your inner thoughts and how you have managed to concise those in those 14 Lines!!..And not to forget the rhyme that a Sonnet must follow..a b b a, a b b a, a b a, a b a...hope I am right
