SONNET 101

SONNET 101

A Poem by kublakhan27
"

This is not the one hundred and first sonnet I've ever written, it's the first. The style is Shakespearean, and the title is a reference to Room 101, the interrogation room in Orwell's "1984." 04 12

"
Miracles hide their realism in
the shelf life of biodegradable
skin threads, a proud feat in light of how thin
it strains to not be seen available
by all who ever wished upon a star
or snuffed a candle in the name of hope.
It knows the sole place where the answers are:
a room of two fiends and a misanthrope.
Blood's twins, seamstresses of judgement's fabric
and the Miss with the guillotine for thread
fetched from the shelf of life in syllabic
shrugs by her sisters, fitters of the dead.

Miracles are cooing one-way changelings
given realism for their playthings.

A three quatrain with a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF followed by a couplet ending (which normally summarizes the whole content of the piece) with a rhyme scheme of GG. Syllabic meter is Pentameter ( five foot each line), not quite sure about the accents for I am not really good in Scansion. I can not yet clearly identify Accentual Meter for me to say fairly that it followed the Iambic accentual pattern. But definitely this is a Shakespearean Sonnet--one of the most fascinating form. I AM IMPRESSED!! :))

How funny, when I submitted my Solemn Burn in the Rain poem for book publication I titled it with a SONNET 11 though it was not my eleventh, it was my first actually!

Kudos to you, my friend...a Shakespearean Sonnet indeed! Let me begin this by saying that I do NOT enjoy writing these things; had to muddle through an entire semester in college dedicated to this stuff and I completely sucked at it...horribly so. With that said, you followed the rules, as far as I can tell, and that is commendable.

Now a word on the content...brilliant! Totally awesome, loved it...love Orwell, the idea was fantastic. Can I say "fantastic" in another way? 1984 was a scary bit of writing indeed. Sheesh, what a world that was "fantasized" and now these things are actually happening...scary. So, kudos to you. I'm totally impressed right now, as you have done something I could not have done!

Sorry, Kubi. I wanted to review this but just didn't feel qualified. I procrastinated and it was well I did. Belle provided the essence of my review of the form. The only thing I was going to point out was the accent deviations but as mentioned, those are minor issues if we disregard the alternating between unstressed and stressed syllables. However, I think the couplet summation is real boggler (NAW - not a word) for me. I like the meaty vocabulary though; now if I can just find some condiment for the steak fries.
