SONNET 17 UPDATE

SONNET 17 UPDATE

UPDATE 18/10/21: Due to an unprecedented response (thank you to those who have sent in sonnets already) I have no more space left to feature sonnets on by blog on the day. Rate it: Sonnet 20: A womans face with Natures own hand painted. Sonnet 17-Who will believe my verse in time to come, Sonnet 18-Shall I compare thee to a summers day Sonnet 19-Devouring Time, blunt thou the lions paws : Sonnet 20-A womans face with Natures own hand painted : Sonnet 21-So is it not with me as with that Muse: Sonnet 22-My glass shall not persuade me I am old, Sonnet 23-As an unperfect actor on the stage: Sonnet 24-Mine eye hath playd. Rate it: Sonnet 40: Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all. Rate it: Sonnet 50: How heavy do I journey on the way.

If you wish to link up a sonnet of your own, please link up to that post, so that others will know where to find it. Sonnet 17: Who will believe my verse in time to come. My post вЂSonnet at the witching hourвЂ™ will go live at midnight CET on 31st October. My best suggestion is to see where your haunted muse takes youвЂ¦if you dare! If you wish to write a sonnet on the unfolding climate catastrophe this Halloween, be my guest! You may take inspiration from Craig Santos PГ©rezвЂ™ poem вЂ Halloween in the Anthropocene.вЂ™ This should give us some idea of the radical lifestyle changes required if we are to stand a chance of surviving the Anthropocene. The world came to a standstill, and we managed to cut our carbon emissions by a mere 6%. Carbon emissions are set to break records this year, after a 6% decrease due to the impact of the pandemic last year. This Halloween, we are facing some very serious issues as a human race. This does not necessarily mean a poem about ghosts and goblins (although these characters are most welcome вЂ“ just ask Christina Rossetti.) Perhaps you want to invoke the ghosts of your past, or your ancestors? Maybe horror takes a different form for you (a spider in the bath, anyone?) Last week, we took a closer look at the sonnet form, but how about content? As IвЂ™ve said before, itвЂ™s your sonnet, so the content is entirely up to you, as long as it is thematically linked to Halloween in some way. As Halloween Sonnet Sunday draws nearer, my email inbox is filling up with spooky sonnetsвЂ¦ be sure to get yours in before it is too late!
