The sonnets are so inspiring. I write lyrical poetry, l free verse only, finding any other format incredibly challenging. But I think I have just penned the first draft of a very basic sonnet— 10 syllables, 14 lines ,and that’s it. 😅 The sun’s out and that has helped me a bit as well. Must hang the wash now!
This is brilliant, brilliant, and moving. I could do without the Bloom epigraph, tbh. It spoils what comes after. The sonnet is excellent and better on its own.
Beautiful poem, feeling, Ken, just what we need. Phil

I know someone who’s going to be wooed by this one. Is the painting by your MIL?
1. Woo!
2. Yes, it is by my MIL, the superb painter Carol Barenberg: http://www.barenberg.com
She’s incredibly talented.
I will pass that good news along.
Wonderfully poetic illustration of the old adage, "women are from Venus, men from Mars."
Thank you Ken, I am no longer scratching my head.
Harf! You're welcome, Roy.
This genuinely made me smile. In a good, earnest way.
That's good news, WiT!

Very happy to be a source of inspiration, Luciana. And pleased to hear you can hang the wash outside right now--it's freezing here in Boston.
According to the weather forecast it might last for an hour or so! Every silver lining Ken!

Not married to it.
