>>>Lizzie,

It is a nice verse- BUT IT IS NOT A GOOD SONNET!
IF one calls something a specific form, it should be in that form.
If I call my viola a guitar, does that give it 2 more strings????
As a poem, I like it- but as a sonnet it has serious flaws.<<<


Sigh.....yaddayaddayadda...

Oh God of Pedantry, I thank Ye for allowing me to be a Bear of Little Brain, who does not know her sonnet from her bonnet, nor her verse from her nurse. But...if my nurse wore her sonnet, would the verse become a bonnet? Or would she have to wear her bonnet to thus spake the word of sonnet? Oh! was Will ever so perplexed? Or unnecessary vexed? Was his sonnet on his head when at last he went to bed? Did the curse of the nurse cause the sonnet to be worse? Or was the bonnet just a sonnet spoken backwards in reverse?



(don't ask me what the *hell* that is, for gawd's sake...!) ;0)






Thank you, Lox..and yes, I like your correction..
