A Poem’s Persona (Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by and written for Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – thank you GC and Sue

I can’t escape sonnets, or so it seems, maybe I should go with that and look at the character of the sonnet

Form: Rondel Prime Sonnet

To what makes a sonnet in verse
A theme of love its constant thing
A strong rhyme to make it sing
Constant line length, a poet’s curse
And strict meter just makes it worse
But once in zone the words have wings
To what makes a sonnet in verse
A theme of love its constant thing
But sonnets can still be diverse
And speak love, that beautiful thing
Whether joy or sorrow it bring
A journey we cannot rehearse
To what makes a sonnet in verse
A theme of love its constant thing

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
