    This is stunning poetry! Much can be read between the lines.

      Personally I don't think I have ever posted anything so bloody daft on AP, but - hey! - a gold is a gold!

    this non-verbal oratory proves that it's not the words that count, only the creative expression of emotion as so well demonstrated here. At first there is the frustration of not being understood but the persistance and patience of this writer clearly shows we all deserve to be heard

      Oh you shouldn't have bothered, darling - I counted them myself before I posted this. There are cheep-hundred-and-chirpty-tweet, just as you would expect in a sonnet!

      Love,
      Me too.

    I thought the flow was elegant, symetric and perfect. The image was consitantly strong and whimsical, yet educational. One of your best.

      Allan, thank you. I was emulating you throughout - I have you to thank for the flow and the image.

    I do love all these new sonnet forms that are springing up on AP, first the Penfold and now the Woodstock. Out of the two I have to say I love the Woodstock and think it will be a lot easier to emulate.

    There's no way I can follow that

      The Woodstock is not as easy as that - you tend to get cheeps mixed up with tweets. And the feet have little claws on them.
  • Well I am still confused my self how the rhyme scheme is in this piece. I mean, can a sonnet have rhyme scheme, aaaa aaaa aaaa aa? Just curious, I am trying to learn these forms, and this one seems easy enough.
    Great job Mairi, I loved it.

    Now, can you answer the question please?
    LOve,
    Passions

      The rhyme scheme is "cheep-chirp-cheep-chirp" except for the final couplet, which is "tweet-tweet".
      • I got it, Sheeew, may be a little challenge after all...I will never get these sonnets LOL..
