Amazing ...
how many of these entries are not sonnets. You'd think that anybody would know that a sonnet is 14 lines and 14 lines only. Then again, an AP poll showed that 70 per cent of the respondents didn't know who Walt Whitman was, so maybe it's not that surprising after all. -
I would say I am one who doesn't know.As far as your diplomacy it's amazing you don't know your ass from a whole in the ground.Well maybe not surprising.

please can we all play nice? I sent out a message to everyone, just in case they don't know a true sonnet. Walt Whitman is the author of "Leaves Of Grass" among other things. I'll be having a quizz later on just for ecrivain01
I appreciate that someone wants the position as contest host but ... uh .... that would be ME

How amusing.

your entry will be deleted since it is a requisite of the contest to play nice. You are rude and as I said your entry will be removed.
