Ahem, so ya.
Oh, Yeah, It's Wednesday Too
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXXIII)
Keep writing "June" as if the snow's detail
Does not affect the facts, as if from hence
The cal'ndar page does not reflect good sense,
Just start the date with that first letter's scale
Of truth, and don't acknowledge that t'avail
Yerself of this might be half selfish thence.
Or wherefore is't I'm caught miswriting whence
I canna say, a Summer month, like's bail?
Tis Jan'ry eighth and bitter chill in tour
The rule, hot soups and drinks prevail as due,
Whilst heat and not the AC often stir,
And Christmas strains yet linger, til the view
With aught effects deny the note as twere
Of "June." I dunno why I'm mixt up. You?

(tongue in cheek)
Mixt Up Means to Churn, Right?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMLXXIV)
As if to freeze maunt thus suffice, what hence?!
Work in an office where all boast in frail
Excuse of fevers, and food pois'ning! They'll
Trade ghastly stories til I cringe from thence
Whilst trying to feign I don't give for intents
A hoot for that contagion, like'd avail
To be aloof or play the nurse' detail,
Cuz after all, my dear, what's not pretense?
Grab for my "lunch" oernight what turns out fer
All that to be...so green with mold t'won't do
But for the trash. Did I, like, take as t'were
The wrong turn somewhere back?! Tell me's not true.
Yet wherefore does aught seem amiss? Bestir
Hope in the LORD our refuge: save us too!

Two really good sonnets which such good imagery about the absurdities of life, I really enjoyed this. It's something I probably won't be able to write, I'll stick to haikus.
Just enjoy writing, if you keep at it you may well find your niche, which is more or less what we each really want. Thank you again so very much!
Thanks, hopefully some time soon I'll find my form of poetry!
You just try out different forms, which, honestly, I did for many, many years, fairly content with rhyming quatrains mainly, and really, I never thought to find my own voice nor a niche in any form, until it subtly happened. So, relax and just have fun writing and expressing yourself.
True, ever since I wrote that first Shakespearean sonnet I've been writing other forms like haikus, limericks, villanelles, sestinas, pantoums and I'm going to write a ballad next! But the rules are so annoying, it's taking a while to find a form that I really love. But at least hopefully I will find it like you did. Before testing out other forms of poetry I did just write quatrains with rhyming patterns of ABAB or AABB. Thank you for your support!
You're more than welcome.
So very deliriously enjoyable Missy .. brought me out in a fine old sweat .. That'll teach em to keep the victuals on the plate and not to eat off the floor .. seconds please .. Neville
Well, considering the one girl's story was that she felt fine, returned from the gym and drank a smoothie, to upchuck the next instant, I'm probably the only dingbat who eats what fell on the floor; speaking of which, I'll spare you. Thank you again so very, very much!
Fantastic work.
You're too kind! Thank you very much!
Work stories are about all I miss of the office or work site. They grow in exageration to limits beyound contemplation. A fun read Chic
Clapping! 👏 👏
Wow! 😲

In a row I must say!👍
Those office workers seem
