Yes, 3-syllable words are only accepted in sonnets, IF the beat does NOT fall on the first and third syllables [or you elide], and I so dearly wanted to use "distinct"....
Where Pink Revamps Its Outlook
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMDCCCXLII)
Rain, such as my soul yearned, oernight like bail,
What IS my problem with today, that hence
I am mixt up? The past three days fr'intents,
Nay, five,--this month itself with madness' trail
Across the weeks--have wrought such ills. Detail
Which morsels after, to search out defense?
These low'ring racks which gird the hours suspense
Tricks out yield less heat by degrees, t'avail.
Then, oh! How early ev'ning is as t'were
Like Autumn's wont, so charming under blue
Heav'ns with that dryness whose touch renders pure
Notes with distinctness, til I swoon, as't woo.
Take me off of my troubles on this tour
Of beauty, lost to aught below anew.

...Kyle, I'll bet.[He knows I had a crush on him.]
I'm Weary of Your Fantasies
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMDCCCXLIII)
Quoth whom in, lo, the darkness I'd ne sense
To lessen for our brief chat was't to scale?
"Don't think too hard." Like, what?! Can I avail
Me? Writing where I have no vision whence,
Nor but the need to scribble, forces thence
Such mis'ries, til I'm slogging 'long sans bail,
And tis...a jest! Ne dawn, but that detail
Of region clouds, where I am hungry hence.
My coffee's frae last week, and's Thursday, poor
As taking swallows where you what? I do
Not know. The mournful eye of day, astir
With dullness (or, seems naught), I cherish, to
Effect. Divorcees all that want me, were
There romance left, tis only in the view.

Fantastic! Some lovely lines there! A fine write. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Tom.
Thank you, rather, for so kindly reading and lending commentary.
lol I write an Italian Sonnet it took 3 years and if I'm honest I also lost some hair. 🤣 Superb writing, you have so much carisma and your work is alive. Kudos. 🌹
Your comment is both sweet and too loaded for me to reply to fully. Suffice it, I can't thank you enough, sweet Teddy.
Beautiful work.
Thank you so very much, Sir.
I came here intrigued and did not leave disappointed .. Indeed, I am impressed .. Neville
Why, thank you very much, kind Sir!
Each time I read your poetry I feel I am reading John Donne, Chaucer, or Shakespeare a most beautiful set of poems.
