Alas, A Shakespearian-style Comeback

[HiddenFrostDragon]

I have yet to see any thread of poetry that has anything to do with a classic poetry style; that of the Sonnet. It seems as though sonnets have all but vanished from the world, with the only exceptions being those of the writer whom started the style. Thus, I am opening this thread to see who among the writers of Gaia can revive this old form of poetry. Any sonnets you have may freely be posted here.

I will provide mt own sonnets later on for reference. If you wish to look one up, feel free to look up Shakepeares' sonnets online.

Here's a Shakespearian sonnet I did during my 2nd year of drama.

Then hate me when thou wilt, if ever, now,
now while the world has bent my deeds to cross.
Join with the spite of furtune, make me bow,
And do not drop in for an afterloss.

Ah, do not, when my heart hath 'scaped this sorrow,
come in the rearward of a conquered woe.
Give not a windy night a rainy 'morrow
to linger out a purposed overthrow

If thou shalt leave me, do not leave me last
when other petty griefs have done their spite,
but in the onset come, so shall I taste
at first the very worst of furtunes might.

And other strings of woe, which now seem woe,
compared with loss of thee will not seem so.

I also have not seen a single sonnet written by a single poet since William Shakespeare who did indeed most definitely start the sonnet style.

"Midnight Lust"

Thine hast arrived in shadowed parlor,
Alone the goddess wakes,
Pining with an arc of divinity,
For thou is the guise of sin.

Misguided the fox darith impatiently,
Beckoning the hammer to splinter,
That of illustrious manner,
Haphazardly sexing the dove.

Quake the world she screamith,
For thou hast the pelvis of Hades,
And thine's legs moveth beyond repose,
For this is the midnight lust.

[Fizzlesticks]

You mustn't read widely enough. Sonnets are fairly common in Australian journals, at least. I write them now and then; I quite like sonnets.

You do realise this isn't a sonnet and shares none of its characteristics?

...Just being a pedant. But, you know, that was the point of the thread.

I'll have to study up on modern sonnets then. I'm just saying that it's not too often you see a new sonnet, either singular or in a collection, in this modern-day period
