An inventive sonnet and never seen one like this before. I prefer traditional sonnets, but I admire your tenacity here to make it work, a great one for the New Year at least, best wishes, love Dolly x

Thank you Dolly. I wrote a whole book on how Sonnets can be twisted in various ways. This is one of those. Although a traditional one is delightful.
Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, Resolutions, has an irregular format, in that the meter and syllable count vary from the standard. Accepting that, the introduction of the new year seems to have already presented obstacles to plans that seemed so powerful and unstoppable last year. Great to see you back. If You were back earlier I must have missed your posts.

Thank you Bill, Glad to be back. Yes I've posted 2 per day so far. The irregular format was intentional. I really twisted it as I classify it under a Modern Sonnet (having aabb rhyme scheme and atypical meter), but then threw in Elizabethan dialect .
Comment from Sugarray77
Your verse is good and very eloquent, but I really got a lot out of your notes. I have not seen mixed meter before and you did a good job explaining it to the reader. Thanks so much. Well done.

Happy New Year, Treischel:)
A beautiful poem you've written there.
I find the Trochaic lines fascinating.
Wouldn't it be great if we could see our future? Well, it might not be since the unknown can create excitement..sometimes.
hugs

Rhythm and rhymes were great. Love it all the way through, especially the part where you said " atlas, past history has cast, a shadow pon my will to last" great job.

Unfortunately in some difficult situations in our life
only consulting through a crystal ball,
can bring the hope or not at all...
Very interesting type of Sonnet
Best wishes for a happy new year filled with health, happiness, and spectacular success

Comment from Carrie Carson
Perchance to heal my wicked ways...I like this yearning for a light into the future, sometimes I think I'd rather know.
No spag, good form. A little difficulty for me reading aloud with change to the trochaic, but that just could be me, too.
Happy New Year!! to you as well, I enjoyed this one. Thanks. :) Carrie

Comment from Roo4U
I found this very enjoyable to read! I enjoyed the use of words and the playful sentiment of how our past still prevails despite our best intentions of New Years resolutions. Good luck to you and have a great New Year! KS

I love this sonnet. I love it twice. Once for the rhythm and once because, I am a crystal baller a procrastinator in my resolutions. Great Gildersleeve , what an image you have chosen. Happy new year
