Some Reno sonnets:
Wifey Sonnet
The
Holy Wind to Abyssinia bore
Us
on the back of steel eagle’s wings
To
land us in the orphan’s desert for
A
royal orphan son from Judah’s King.
This
fertile continent--heavy with child--
Bore
for us our beloved Beniam boy.
Oh,
Africa--womb of our son’s womb--wild
The
Land where Spirit hovered for our joy.
The
angel bard once likened childed womb
To sails
big-bellied blown by wanton wind.
Your
grace-filled fabric taut, a watery room,
Now
harbors holy gift, a sacrament.
As
Africa once bulged with right hand seed,
Inspired
your belly is with ‘Vangeline.
One to his seniors several years ago
When I consider sonnets I turn green.
I gag. I heave. Dry heaves, they will not stop
Until I write a quatrain . . . wait! I mean
An octave! (What I've written is mere slop.)
I cannot do this . . . meter? When will't end?!!!
As soon as meter's dial'd I kill the rhyme.
This casualty results when I don't tend
All sheep at once. I'm running out of time . . .
Shakespear'ean hydra! Come at me full force!
My loins I'll gird and stand my ground a man
Who will not shirk from war, nor from the course
will I depart. (my mind has hatched a plan!)
Submission to this yoke (the sonnet's weight)
Now means I've earned the right to graduate.
*Any questions on J9?
*Hamlet . . . up through 4.3 then DVD, then 5.2.355 to the end.
