We see a truly stellar sonnet, this--
reminds me of my many arid times,
And yet, in spite of fact that he's remiss
this effort shows that really you do rhymes
that thumb their nose at any errant cuss
who deigns to hide his help from one of us!
Author notes
My muse passed judgment on hers by providing iambic pentameters with no delay.
If Brevity is wit, witness this!

I think I have two poems here posted that rhyme... for the most part with my writing I prefer free verse to rhyme...but that's just me
altho i did enjoy this one.
Keep penning on one stroke at a time
-
It's nice when the iambs arrive without delay.
Nice write.

For Judith!
I thank you kindly my dear friend, though I
so much prefer the lines with only four!
Yet even so since your attention to
the counts with stresses hidden up so high
make me deplore necessity's "one more"
in struggle to maintain it just for you!
Just kidding!

This is you week to be hoodwinked. I hope you enjoy it. Sonnets are okay but they aren't my cup of tea. I really can't figure out the message of this one even after I read the author notes. You have been hoodwinked because someone cares about you.

HOODWINK!
You truly are a scribe! Your verses here,
so economical, but full of wit!
The wonders of your pen, alas, I fear
have set a mark the likes of me can't hit.
Well done, dear poet!
Congratulations on being hoodwinked!
Blessed be,
Zach

Hoodwinked
It is a great kick-starter
for verses in response!
If not for work this partner
would lead to more at once.
But duty calls me forward
and promises call me back,
both now must be honoured.
If not I'll get the sack!
It caused a lot of action
and fun to see them come,
but soon comes a retraction
and need to be humdrum.

Hoodwinked!!!
Stellar work on this
I love Sonnets, as they permeate the B.S. and speak the truth. You did a wonderful job on this one, I love the line about errant cuss' , Had me giggling. Rhyming and I, do not get along nor do I feel that we ever will. I have never been one to be able to collate the perfect words. But you have done so wonderfully! Great work!

Technical lack of content.--as you know.
Rhyming is not all there is
to the art of writing. This
merely wraps another thought
as between book-ends caught
by the roots of a story put
in "cupfuls," foot by foot
iambic or trochaic, as fits
preset metric sets of bits.
Thanks to Dragonbaby

Rhyming is sometimes difficult. I do it sometimes without meaning to... sometimes a rhyme just has to be written. This was a very well write. Thanks for sharing this with us. -

Thank you trekkergirl
You have put it well, the insistence
of a poem to gather the rest of itself
around it, drop it in place as if by
someone manipulating the writer like
a marionette. Thankfully seldom, why
it happens, quite unknown. If by myself
prudence demands my gentle resistance.

Hoodwink!!
I could not rhyme my way out of a paper bad so I can applaud anyone who does, you captured much in this short little piece. Well done on a great little verse
-

Sympathy for paper bags
I'm so happy that you have enjoyed it!
It was like this, typed out in reply.
As for rhyme, over time, I employed it
because there it was, all on stand-by!
It took me seventy years to get here.

Hood-Wink!
I have always admired rhyming poets partly because it is a skill I lack no matter how much I try - this gives a certain chuckle to me and vibe that I can only ever now place back to you and your talent 
♥
Stay safe

Not "talent"
Dear Manda, my skill is all in the typing,
when Time permits. Really I'm not griping;
My Muse lets me get the credit.
My share, typos I have to edit
as I hurry to follow melodic Pied Piping!

Hoodwinked !
Dear friend..Another gem of a write, as I should expect from you...A worthy poet of praise, and this little pentameter is no exception..A sonnet of rhyme and dry humour that encourages us to always try our talents at poetry, and rhyme...

That's where it lives!

HOODWINKED!
Short and sweet, thoase iambic lilts through you poem. It is lovely and very witty, and your muse will always win! Enjoy your day!

Ah, you recognize my muse!
Way to go! All my life she has done all the work!

Dear Terry,
Professors at my College always taught
that, when attempting to write poetry,
'twere always best to try to keep it short
and extra marks we gained for brevity.
But human history is rather long
requiring therefore somewhat lengthier verse
and trying to cut it short would be quite wrong
while operas truncated would be worse.
thus, if a poem is to hold its strength,
we must allow that it should run its length.
I call this a "Sonnettina" rather than a "Mini-sonnet".
Pray, whose verse prompted your above praise? Who is the "hers" which activated your Muse?
Applause, love and hugs, XXX, Hugh.
