When I think Sonnets, I think poetry and it’s something I need to make some effort to get to. Luckily for my planner side, sonnets actually have a loose set of rules:
If you want to know what iambic pentameters are, this video does it rather well. Prompts: Fading Light, Discovery # The Last Night at the Casino Joelyn Alexandra Digits, coins, and cherries upon the screen, The melody spins to the lever’s pull. Wheels, spins, and sweeps wipe the Red and Black clean, Chips gather, and clump the croupier’s last tool. Felt tables give you fifty two to hit, Be they two cards, five, or Russian thirteen. Six-sided fate plays its last in the pit, Schrodinger’s numbers in their final scheme. Your tiles show you the way: North, South, East, West, Signalling the last winds, the curtain call. Chips cashed, the team settles down for a rest, Mission accomplished, a side of windfall. A final flick, when darkness came, a wave. Until then, when they call, our next conclave. # Poetry and Sonnets are not necessarily my strong suit. Despite that, I hope you’ve enjoyed this piece! Stay tuned next month for another writing challenge.
