I have just written my first ever Shakespearean (English) Sonnet, consisting of 14 lines in 'iambic pentameter' (that's five feet where each foot has two syllables stressed and unstressed). With each of the first three stanzas being a quatrain of four lines. Finished off by a fourth and final stanza that is a couplet consisting of only two lines.
Unfortunately I am unable to replicate the sonnet at this moment in time on my Blog; as the sonnet was written by yours truly to celebrate our forthcoming anniversary.
I warned her that if she doesn't behave then I will go out and buy a card instead. Oh power, it's brilliant. And do you know the best bit? Well after parking my car in trouble free parking heaven in Aberystwyth yet again, I then sat in my favourite coffee shop and had the joy of using the Waterman fountain pen that the gang bought me when I retired. It was lovely as a cartridge pen, but like the Gold Sheaffer that the Executive Suite bought me, I sourced Piston Fillers from across The Pond and when they arrived, I popped them into the barrels. Pure bliss, great fun and for me quite uplifting.
Oh joy, oh joy for paper and ink and the time to think.
:-) Happy days
