Question:
Is this about the 1958 romantic comedy on this title, or the task of excumacation used by the catholic church?
-
Yes, inquiring minds want to know.

Grrr, I have a poem written this month on bell, book and candle but it's not a sonnet. Have to see if I can adapt.

I can't write Sonnets to save my life, so I just popped by to say that 130 and 138 are the best, in my opinion. Also, if you don't know it already, and untitled poem which starts something like "I give unto my wife, our second best bed" but Simon Armitage (or Carol Ann Duffy, my memory fails me) is an excellent poem if you're a Shakespeare fan!

No interest in the topic ...
but let me know if you have another contest on something different since I do write sonnets now and then - when I feel up to it, at any rate.
In any case, good luck with the contest. -
Thanks muc Di...I love writing sonnets for you...take care and Merry Christmas to you...Rich
