A Sonnet to Autumn

This reads and flows brilliantly. I'm unsure of its reference, but would love you to tell me. My thoughts were of a false creator that nurtured a life then tore it down when in bloom. Rosina xena465

Ann of Norway You Spring the spring in Spring's bright robe, the perfume consummate, relate the story Greek, and seek the end, the tip of bud, the delicate fronds rise up, and bloom beside your pen, as penned they join us, then they go to wake up yet again. Most charmed lady of the Spring, judyanne, most charmed this poem. Love from annanya.

Is this year's fall beautiful in Australia? It's been a brilliant & astonishing Spring in Northern Ohio. Lovely poem dear lady. ~A "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ A Course In Miracles

six short months and then the trickle of delicate winter blossoms i enjoyed this poem well written judd Esker~

There are a few types of "sonnet" constructions... I believe you may need to look at this again. http://www.sonnets.org/basicforms.htm here you will find some examples as well as basic instructions. I enjoyed your poem and it is good to see anyone trying something new to them. Richard

I love a good sonnet, and it can take numerous forms. This is not perfect form, but I commend the work. In my opinion, a sonnet should always ryhme. There is several forms, but once you pick one. You have to stick to it. Here you have ababcd{c?}defefgh, and not all of your lines have ten sylables. Line 4,5 is a sylable short. Lines 6,7 have two to many. 8,11,12 has one extra. May not be a perfect count correction, but close. And usualy your last two closing lines ryhme's closer. I only offered because you aske. I love a sonnet, even not in perfect form Judy. This was great. If you interested in realy getting in to the rythem of a Sonnet I recommend, abab cbcb dcdc ee, with ten sylable lines and spaces for stanza's. Very satisafactory finish's with that set up. I think its called Shaksperian, several differant forms. Most are good. And wikipedia, and the link Richard gave our great sources of info. Great read and time, thanks Judy. Julie D.D.

It must be the accent, cause to me the hone, esy, don't ryhme. And thier is rules Judy, but they are meant to be broken! And I only recommened the ryhme scheme, there is others. Such as abab cdcd efef gg, or abcd bcde cdef gg aabb bbcc ccdd ee You get the idea, just set a pattern and follow it, and sylable count is important if calling it a sonnet, or its just a great ryhme. Great, but not a sonnet. But you can set your sylable count, 8,10,12 usual an even number, but maybe that is just my preferance. Always 14 lines. Just use what you need Judy and remember its supposed to be fun. Julie D.D.

PS, the volta is important. But like everything else can be adjusted. It is supposed to be wrapped up in the 8-12 lines and all of it summed up with line 13 and 14 being a couplet.
