arontius | Another Entry Into The Coronet.

.....I'm in the mood to write this week for some reason. Hope this muse sticks around for a while. :-)

.....I wrote this one within the rules we've been recently following on the 'Bards of An Tir' group in Facebook. This is the ABBA ABBA CDDC CD rhyme scheme that follows the Italian format. I'm not sure that I personally would fall in love with that particular style as it seems almost 'jerky' in its rhyming. Or abrupt. Or, I suppose it could be my style.

.....But I'm also thinking that there was a reason that the sonnet 'evolved' when it was introduced into England and morphed into it's own 'standard' of ABAB CDCD EFEF GG. This fits the English language more I think and makes the rhyming flow a little better if in English. At least I think. I'll have to do a little more reading to see if my theory actually has any truth to it.

.....But here is the entry for keeping:

Will murmur by the hour in foxglove bells.
And listen for the answer in air sweet.
Waves of scent that beguile heart's foolish beat.
As she strides through swells of spring's flowered fells.
A smile that blazes with the love it tells.
The eyes pierce your soul, with light it will heat.
A hand that reaches whimsy's season feat.
To grasp your essence in warm sheltered cells.
A captive, wings beat in hope of escape.
With knowledge all was always lost did loom.
The silver dust a requiem in bloom.
A sparkle as of heaven's arcing drape.
Love's sweet strength happily worn as a cape.
In truth the prison, into which we doom.

.....I again stuck to the original rules, which had us picking two consecutive lines of the original Wordsworth and using them as the first and last lines of your creation. I think I did a little better at incorporating them this time. Although there are a few other lines I would change.

.....Need to 'cleanse the pallet' and write some English or Spenserian stuff here shortly. It'll feel good to see some more of that verse in black-and-white.

.....Aaron / Arontius.
