in Sonnet Heaven

in Sonnet Heaven

find your rhythm,

seek the poetry you deserve

your iambic heart will thank you

when you flat line

your pentameter will find you

'A Tanka is a Sonnet, cooked to perfection'.

thank you, red,

I have read that iambic pentameter reflected the basic British breath pattern of the time. If pentameter can't find you, I wonder if octameter would have the patience to do the job.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Hey maybe that would do the trick!

And when it finds you, it will tell you..."there is still time to rhyme".
Nice one Jacob.

Simple yet so deep and close to all the artists. Pentameter, iambic, words that are so beautiful.

"Is this Iowa?" "no, it is heaven!"
a different field of dreams we wish we could visit.

If one found their rhythm, one would never have to flatline. Our pentameter would pursue us. Keep the beats alive. This is such a brilliant poem, dear Jacob!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this one sort of came out by accident...thank you, Divya.

[Ayvid N]

It was a beautiful accident. You're most welcome, dear Jacob.

Now sonnets are hard work in my opinion dear J. Not for the feint hearted. You are looking for perfection in form. Yes that rhythm and meter has got to be right. They may be beautiful and full of heart, but they can be unforgiving. Just like relationships my friend. I am the first to arrive.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Hello J.
I've written a few sonnets in my time, and always the Spenserian sonnet. It works perfectly for me. Albeit, I have to count the syllables on my fingers. Aha.
Hope all is well with you dear J.

Pauline.
