    Good goin indeed.
    Liberty is my religion. Liberty of hand and brain -- of thought and labor. Liberty is the blossom and fruit of justice -- the perfume of mercy. Liberty is the seed and soil, the air and light, the dew and rain of progress, love and joy.

    Only Shakespearean or Italian sonnets have a particular rhyme scheme. A poem with 14 lines (usually a love poem) can be considered a sonnet.

    the Italian sonnet has a different rhyme scheme
    abba abba cdecde.

    Seven social sins:
    1.Politics without principles

    3.Pleasure without conscience
    4.Knowledge without character
    5.Commerce without morality
    6.Science without humanity
    7.Worship without sacrifice

    I feel so embarrassed...you have mentioned my name and yet i am not here for you...please forgive me for this horrendously late appearence

    Alliteration is an addictive instrument...and you find it popping up in your everyday speech and writing...to the point that when you sit down to write something more to heart...your alliterative troll jumps to attention and starts singing off his at the moment painfully unwanted suggestions:

    such as when thinking of the
    pain that you wish to express
    you understand it pricks and panics
    and sends pinching pecks of pulsating
    paralysis and yet that is not what you
    want to say.

    I have to confess when it comes to metres and sonnets...i run for the wavering, untamed hills! I only know to read them and dissect them...all of which makes for interesting chat or over analytical drivel.

    There is one humble question I want to ask...is this thread to help others write poetry or to understand how poetry has been written and what tools have and can be employed?

    Either we can discuss the rules and traditions that have been used or we can introduce different tools or avenues as i like to think of them to enrich our own writing.

    is that the only rule ?

    Friday night I dream of two
    Unfettered days that's called weekend
    The week was sold for bread and brew
    Now all the time is mine to spend

    Seductive unread pile of books
    (The read pile is a sandclenched fist)
    Spring cleaning due the house it looks
    Other errands from my mother's list

    Unnanounced aunts just happen to drop in
    Liberty with my plans they take
    'Read later now come with us shopping
    He can wait that William Blake'

    Possessive pronouns for Time is a blunder
    We exist together and not asunder
