The Sonnet’s Joy

muttado1sb Descriptive poetry, ha'sonnet, meta, Poetry, short form September 9, 2020September 6, 2020

The measured lines
and rhythmic beats
become like mines
souring the sweets
So be impressed
when poets wrest
a timed-beat rhyme

Getting those words to march in cadence can be tricky.

    I agree–the form is difficult for me these days so I admire poets who write them with ease 🙂
