My First Sonnet

My First Sonnet Video Clips. Duration : 0.47 Mins.


This must be like the thirtyish revision. but i guess that is what it takes to learn it? at least for me anyway. See i like code. i don't know why but i do. and since i do i decided to learn what a sonnet is. since a sonnet is just rules or co See i like code. i don't know why but i do. and since i do i decided to learn what a sonnet is. since a sonnet is just rules or code for a poem, i really liked the idea of it. well since i like code, i decided my first sonnet contains the "how to" rules or codes to make a sonnet. see the poem describes myself learning all of these rules so i may write a sonnet. i didn't know any of the rules, so i just learned them about ten or so minutes before i wrote this. i am not sure if i incorporated every aspect of the code or rules for a sonnet. but i did try to. and it is my first sonnet, i am sure it's not really that good. but it is a start, and like the poem says i wrote my first sonnet! and it was fun. My First Sonnet --- If I'm to write and form a little song I'll choose to use the English code and rules I'll learn the laws to lay my bricks along The roads I build of codes with English tools Now two will rhyme with four and one with three I'll split the rhyme between the stanza breaks The last two lines will rhyme a final plea With glee that creeps in hands of codes I make Iambics boast control as they decide The words to run as feet conduct the line I'll snare the code that hides along and strides In quatrains forming claims of codes ...

The Joy of Thy Light (Petrarchan Sonnet)

The Petrarchan or Italian sonnet was invented the lawyer, Giacomo da Lentini, head master of the Sicilian School under the direction of Frederick II, during the early 13th century at the Sicilian court (1208-1250). It was named after the Italian renaissance poet Francesco Petrarca, who preferred the crossed rhyme octave and sestets (Petrarch in English, 1304-1374). The Petrarchan sonnet has a two-part structure; the break between the octave and sestet is called the Volta ("turn" or "turning point"). The octave presents an argument, and the sestet has the shift or turning point. It presents an irony, paradox or solution to the argument in the octave. It may or may not be indicated by a stanza break. Petrarch's "Sonnet CLIX" (translated by Marion Shore) is one of his most famous. Some new poets are reluctant to write in the sonnet form because they are scared of the language and the form. They mistakenly believe that writing a poem of this nature and structure is difficult. Using a rhyme-scheme and a set rhythm makes it easier to craft a poem. Obviously, it gives the poem a natural flow and a set length which is easy to follow.

The Joy of Thy Light

How To Write A Sonnet

Where art thou fair maiden of shining light?

The Joy of Thy Light (Petrarchan Sonnet)

Show thy face and wave thine wand of magic

Unless thou art not- this will be tragic!

Secluded out of sight during my plight;

Why hideth when thy touch can cure all pain

Shadows of darkness covering the moon

Revealeth thy self-or this will be gloom!

Heareth this solemn voice waxing and wane;

Alas my love, you have withered my pain

Your sparkling love pusheth night's darkness by

Heart smiling, head raiseth without a cry:

Thy soft touch filleth my heart with sweet refrain:

Scales gone sweet love appeareth in my sight

With the sun shine-I beholdeth thy light!

#80 O how I faint when I of you do write, Knowing a better spirit doth use your name, And in the praise thereof spends all his might, To make me tongue-tied speaking of your fame. But since your worth (wide as the ocean is) The humble as the proudest sail doth bear, My saucy bark (inferior far to his) On your broad main doth willfully appear. Your shallowest help will hold me up afloat, Whilst he upon your soundless deep doth ride, Or (being wracked) I am a worthless boat, He of tall building, and of goodly pride. Then if he thrive and I be cast away, The worst was this, my love was my decay.

Shakespeare Sonnet 38

Shakespeare Sonnet 38 Video Clips. Duration : 5.38 Mins.


Here I recite Sonnet 38 and talk about emotional substitution and how it is beneficial to highlight specific words in a text. SONNET 38 How can my Muse want subject to invent, While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my verse Thine own sweet argument, too excellent For every vulgar paper to rehearse? O, give thyself the thanks, if aught in me Worthy perusal stand against thy sight; For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee, When thou thyself dost give invention light? Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth Than those old nine which rhymers invocate; And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth Eternal numbers to outlive long date. If my slight Muse do please these curious days, The pain be mine, but thine shall be the praise.

911 - A Shameful Act (Petrarchan Sonnet)

The Petrarchan or Italian sonnet is named after the Italian renaissance poet Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch in English, 1304-1374). It rhymes as follows: abbaabba in the first eight lines (the octave), and variously in the last six (the sestet): cdcdcd, cdecde, ccdccd, cddcdd, cdecde, or cddcee. The Petrarchan sonnet has a two-part structure; the break between the octave and sestet is called the Volta ("turn" or "turning point"). The octave presents an argument, and the sestet has the shift or turning point. It presents an irony, paradox or solution to the argument in the octave and may or may not be indicated by a stanza break. Finally, Petrarch's "Sonnet CLIX" (translated by Marion Shore) is one of his most famous. This Petrarchan (Italian) sonnet, 911 Response-A Shameful Act, is written in the following format: a-b-b-a / a-b-b-a /c-d-d-c / e-e:

911-A Shameful Act (Petrarchan Sonnet)

How To Write A Sonnet

It was shameful in fact such a gross act

911 - A Shameful Act (Petrarchan Sonnet)

Why would anyone cherish such a thought?

Knowing they would be hunted down and caught?

Believed they could get away-such a crack!

Why such bad deeds and ways to overact?

By the end we would uncover their veils

Why would they believe they were tough as nails?

Why did you act like a snotty nosed brat?

Your love will remove the scales from their eyes

Reveal unto them the true path to walk

Your love will touch their hearts and make them talk

Let them stand before You and hear their cries

Many lost their lives on that tragic day

Grant them peace as their loved ones always pray

I swear, one of these days I'll break out of the sonnet form... And to write something that isn't me whining about not being able to write! Haha So there you are, my sweet, beguiling Muse; I thought you must be hiding in this fray. I called your name, but always you refuse To come lay out a song for me to play. I wish that I could learn to read your moods, And use them all, to ride upon their waves. Instead, I'm subject to your inner fueds; I wait for calm, that I might read the graves Where buried are the passion's of your heart, The heat of life long gone. Tis retrospect That teaches me the feelings for my art. To capture what you've said, I must reflect. I call for you when passion's beg release- Instead, I'm forced to glean while carrions feast.

Edmund Spenser Sonnet 75 Poem Interpretation

Edmund Spenser Sonnet 75 Poem Interpretation Tube. Duration : 3.08 Mins.


One day I wrote her name upon the strand, but came the waves and washed it away: Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide, and made my pains his prey. Vain man, said she, that doest in vain assay a mortal thing so to immortalize, for I myself shall like to this decay, and eek my name be wiped out likewise. Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise to die in dust, but you shall live by fame: my verse your virtues rare shall eternize, and in the heavens write your glorious name. When whereas Death shall all the world subdue, out love shall live, and later life renew.

Day 36 - Sonnet #103: modesty, muse, apology, reflection, beauty Video Clips. Duration : 3.33 Mins.


from Huntington Beach, CA Part of the Sonnet Challenge More info at sonnetchallenge.blogspot.com Please feel free to check it out and join! Alack what poverty my muse brings forth, That having such a scope to show her pride, The argument all bare is of more worth Than when it hath my added praise beside. O blame me not if I no more can write! Look in your glass and there appears a face, That over-goes my blunt invention quite, Dulling my lines, and doing me disgrace. Were it not sinful then striving to mend, To mar the subject that before was well? For to no other pass my verses tend, Than of your graces and your gifts to tell. And more, much more than in my verse can sit, Your own glass shows you, when you look in it.

The Hidden Sonnet

The Hidden Sonnet Tube. Duration : 1.02 Mins.


see i am going to break up each stanza and put it inside of 4 different greeting cards and give them to my wife. so that is why it is a hidden sonnet. because it is broken up into individual stanzas. plus i am going to hide the cards in her stuff so she finds them throughout her day. like one in her purse one in her car etc. etc. i like to write for my wife. and i like it even better when i can suprise her. oh the last one i gave her on a card with 20 roses. she loved it. what a way to exhibit a poem to the one you love. lines 1 & 3 of the quatrains are Inversion(stressed then unstressed syllables per foot). To give a flow to the iambic(unstressed then stressed syllables per foot) on lines 2 & 4 of the quatrains. like the lines were dancing 1 line inversion next iambic... lines 1 & 3 of the quatrains end with a dactyl(stressed then two unstressed syllables). so the receipt of the last foot from the readers perspective is gentle. lines 1 & 3 use 11 syllables like a love sonnet. Last two lines are iambic pentameter. it may not be traditional but i like it, and i got to play with the code a whole bunch. which i love to do. The Hidden Sonnet --- I'll, awake in arms of true tranquility To, greet the day with love I hold in true All, I need is you with passion freeing me My, day will start in bliss as love renews Well, throughout my day my thoughts will circumvent As, thoughts of you enchant my minds control These, ideas will grow with love to supplement My, urge to be with you ...

Sonnet 19

Sonnet 19 Tube. Duration : 0.85 Mins.


Download MP3 here: mattswriting.com I wrote this sonnet at age 16. I still like it, so I decided to record it. Instrumental is sampled from 'Soul Survivor' by Young Jeezy. Produced by DJ Matt Werner Sonnet 19: What time will teach my adolescence wit?// And what will adolescent wit, teach time?// For adolescents lack that wit, of which// Adults preoccupy themselves to find.// But happy I am lacking this insight,// And free am I in my own ignorance.// My little sense is seen in what I write—// For age brings wisdom, and wisdom brings sense.// Those older need this spare sense to erase// The masks they wear to hide their dreams' design.// Age's mask is not how time shapes one's face,// Rather, how one shapes his face, facing time.// How peculiar is time's sense in age forsooth!// Searching for the wisdom that it had in youth.

Sonnet : "How Far Can You See Across the Roof Tops" by David Doggietwo

How far can you see across the roof tops, Over trees and beyond distant towers, Toward blue tinged hills of distant slopes, Against a cold grey skys darkening hours. Can you not feel the pains of small hopes, Soiled, spoiled, foiled by their powers To delude self greatness as well poor sopes, Whos fates follows all scented flowers. How far can you dare without pale daylight, To hear the songs that would cry in souls void, And echo in a gardens silent night. Can you not taste the sap enough to write, The storms illusions, much would it provide, Of right or might, to know a true dawn bright.

Analysis of Shakespeare's Sonnet 122

This sonnet is linked to sonnet 77 in many ways. Recall that in sonnet 77 the poet gave a notebook to the young man in question as a gift. The poet wanted the young man to record his younger day so that when he is old he could look back and remember the days of his youthful beauties. The notebook was to forge a bond between the individuals; it was to serve as a social function of one person's writing to the other, and probably as a medium of communication. However, it did not turned out as contemplated by the young man.

When the young man returned the favor with his gift of a book, the poet responded in the following manner, as stated in lines one and two of the sonnet: "Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain / Full character'd with lasting memory." Additionally, the poet further stated in line number four the following words: "Beyond all dates, even to eternity." In essence the poet discarded the gift from the young man. The rejection of the notebook certainly would leave one to wonder about the bond between the two individuals, whether it is unilateral or bilateral, or was it one of a superior and inferior relationship with a class distinction.

Obviously, this is not a clear sign of any positive gesture or medium of appreciation. Returning the gift offered by a person certainly show a lack of value or one of non-appreciation. Some will argue that the real value is that which was passed on in the minds of the individuals instead of something tangible in the form of property such as a book. In essence, the poet has classified the book and the writing as replicas in his medium of communication. As such, the class dynamic in this situation is one to be considered greatly regarding its sincerity.

The theme of the poem showed the point the poet was trying to make regarding his mind. The last two lines state: "To keep an adjunct to remember thee / Were to import forgetfulness in me." Here the poet has apparently stated that his mind will be clear and fresh of the young man; one would imagine. In essence, however, the poet has also stated, "I do not need to refresh my memory of you; I want you to remember me." Apparently, the poet may not need their embedded memory to be passed on to other generations from his side. He would rather it be done from the young man's point of view.

William Shakespeare - Sonnet 38

Sir John Gielgud reads hakespeare's Sonnet 38 Sonnet 38 by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) How can my muse want subject to invent, While thou dost breathe, that pour'st into my verse Thine own sweet argument, too excellent For every vulgar paper to rehearse? O! give thy self the thanks, if aught in me Worthy perusal stand against thy sight; For who's so dumb that cannot write to thee, When thou thy self dost give invention light? Be thou the tenth Muse, ten times more in worth Than those old nine which rhymers invocate; And he that calls on thee, let him bring forth Eternal numbers to outlive long date.
