GOODNESS, TFT!
Now, THAT is a proper Sonnet … it’s obvious you’ve done your homework.
Your creativity sparks, emotion sings, and diction dances. And, I like your use of elision. Could use a bit’a punctuation.
See critique and edits below:I said I don’t do THIS. POems that behave (STRESS-STRESS / a count long)

I said I don’t do this. poems that behave
that count their beats and beg to sound profound
but here I am the fool you couldn’t save

oops didn’t mean to send that too short of a reply. I read your paper? instructions about the nature of and what constitutes a formally written English Sonnet. I am afraid I have only ever attempted one. If I can find it I will post in the “Back To Poetry Basics” group. This group was mented to me by Valuptas Whispers Unholy. and then I saw Fia’s…Read More

C’mon, Curt, join-in. There’s nothing like taking advantage of an opportunity when it present itself, and it’s FREE! With your creative talents, it would be most thrilling to read your version of a proper Sonnet, and then you’ll know how from then on. : )

It looks like I was successful — to a degree. Fia granted me a Spoken Word group to run. Now I have to figure out how to do it. I need other people who want to be active in Spoken Word to join to post their work there, discuss their work and that of others and do anything they can to promote our work.
