mine pwns

i continue to add
I find that it flows easier (however, it may not turn out to be a sonnet).

That was my problem to the "T"...it wasn't turning out to be a sonnet. When I've been drinking I also suffer from what I like to call "vacationing vocabulary" which basically means that all of the words I would like to use disappear from my brain and are replaced with simplistic words like "neat", "fun", "nice" and "cool." I'm a dumb drunk.
Now I'm sober and the things that I have written down make no sense to me. Thank goodness I am not a songwriter.
Nevertheless, I will try to come up with at least some sort of "ode" so I feel like I'm not wasting anyone's time.
what, may i ask, is a sonnet?
Old shakespeare things --- :
(here's the format) a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.
The couplet at the end usually brings around a thematic twist.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring barque,
Whose worth's unknown although his height be taken.
Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Shakespeare's sonnet 116
Andy with his crazy hair
Their lyrics, voices, music flow
Tim with his bass to dare
hmm....im braindead right now.....can someone else do the next part?
that would be interesting
(here's the format) a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g.
Well, that's the Shakespearean/English form. There's also Italian, which is 14 lines comprised of an octet and a sestet. Rhyming for the octet is usually a-b-b-a-a-b-b-a. The sestet is usually c-d-e-c-d-e, c-d-c-d-c-d, or c-d-c-d-e-e. And the turn tends to be at the beginning of the sestet. There's also Spenserian (sp?) which is a combination of Shakespearean and Italian. Because Spenser though he was special or something. He was really very weird, I feel. ANYWAY... /English major ramblings
Once I tried to write a sonnet for extra credit in my Lit. Analysis class, but I gave up after three lines. It's pretty difficult to write a good one. So for this I shall right a haiku.
OK GO is cool
Yeah, they sure are rockin', eh?
They make me dance. Dance.
Haha. That was awful.
I beg to differ. I like the extra dance---for emPHASis.
I concur.
Haha. Thanks. I thought it added a nice dramatic element.
Knowledge that
Great minds will
Orate about great things about how
It's tough to have a crush, or
Signs of life are hard to find
Truth in
Harmonies sing melodic
Exoltations to the
Song Gods. OK GO
Emphatically
Xculpate the crass!
