Reality TV
A Petrarchan sonnet60 total reviews
Comment from Selina Stambi
Your poetic creativity knows no bounds, Tony.
we could careen
Wild with the stars and fly brave through the night .. with Gungalo I can only say ... sigh!
I have to confess, though, I've forgotten the rules for the Petrachan sonnet, so I didn't do my teacher thing and scan!
Have a super weekend.

As usual - an absolutely lovely review from you, Sonali! You have a great weekend, too. We're wet and windy here at last and so the hills should soon be green again!

Wish I had a six left. I love your wry commentary on modern society.
Why, indeed, to we sit inside and watch the mundane plights of dull people when there is a whole wondrous world just waiting for us.
I am with you.
I never watch reality tv. In fact, I don't watch much of anything on television.
Don't even own one, haven't for years.
Hugs, d

Thanks, d! What a lovely review! TV - the opiate of the masses!
Comment from Joan E.
Your picture selection and title certainly caught my attention. "Why choose the shadow" indeed! I admired your imagery and your rhymes. Your personification of the sun was quite effective too. Cheers- Joan

"careen wild with the stars andfly crave through the night" Yes please. I despise reality tv shows. Such a waste of time and more. This is very well crafted and flows nicely. Most enjoyable.

Like your spin on reality t.v., the true reality what is out there, a show we can take in and be rather than gazing at the shadow of reality. Not much of a t.v. freak myself. Once I purposely did not own one for five years.

Many thanks for your kind review, Ravenblack. I'd cheerfully throw ours out but my wife doesn't seem to be able to live without it. Best wishes, Tony

When it is bed time, it is the time to turn off your imagination. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a good read.

Comment from Liandra
I whole agree with you, as humans we spend far too much time in front of a screen. Although my screen seems to be the computer, writing about the universe and Orion! I enjoyed your sonnet, it is different and it you have painted a picture of a night of beauty with the stars, or a night of 'being brainwashed in front of a screen!

Interesting question you raise in your well crafted sonnet. Your artwork fits great. Most of what is on TV is transparent, garbage best thrown out.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Personally, I'd rather shovel horse turds than watch reality television...and I'm being polite here, believe me.
Such mindless drivel, these shows. Your eloquent language you've chose for this poem is too good for the subject matter, although we all appreciate a thought provoking, well written penned piece such as this.
Well done, Tony, and also, very true!

You have used lyrical lines to convey your message and good choice of words. It has a smooth flow and the imagery is good. It was a most enjoyable read and good illustration. Faye
