I'd Like to Write a Sonnet Just for Fun

Okay so here's the deal. iambic is daDUM. starts female ends male. i wanted to play with this and see what feelings i get from it. then i wrote another sonnet that identifies the feelings that i felt when i was rereading this sonnet. if that wasn't hard enough, both sonnets (this one and the one that identifies feelings with different beats) use the same rhymes.

well i thought i would play with lines 1 and 3 of the three quatrains. meaning lines 2 and 4 are in traditional iambic pentameter. but lines 1 and 3 of each stanza end on a different foot. meaning the first stanza is ending in dada or a female foot. the second stanza is ending in DUMDUM or a complete male foot. and the final quatrain ends in DUMda. which is the opposite of iambic daDUM.

then i reread this sonnet over and over anylysing anything i could about the beat and how it has changed. how did that make me feel and what did it imply to the reader? i took that information to make my sequel to this sonnet. called "To Play with Beats and See what Comes to Run".



I'd Like to Write a Sonnet Just for Fun
---
I wrote to write my thoughts in clarity
I wrote to write ideas and views that storm
You see I wrote to write tranquility
But now I want to write in sonnet form

I like emotions locked inside fourteen
Inside with beats I've never known before
The sonnet life has rule as code adds mien
To quench my thirst for laws that I explore

I lay the code in mind to bring feelings
With beats I join to capture its allure
In words I write to form with beats freeing
To play amongst the codes that I procure

I will reread and learn as I arrange
With feelings that will flow as beats will change
