Izabella, thank you! I've set myself a challenge to have a crack at different poetic forms now and again. And I'm so glad you thought it worked. I'm finding, as is so often the case, that actually attempting to write a poem that requires formal structure is much better than just reading it. And it certainly shows how difficult it is! Thank you so much for reading.
And also I can imagine how proud you get seeing the great output of a structured poem. 🥰 I’m doing this workshop “Poetic forms for beginners” and sonnets and prose poems took my attention and I might risk myself in the future. Thank you for the inspiration 🤍
Yes, I just love trying to work out how things work. Obviously, there's always an indefinable quality to anything as subjective as a poem. But, I've enjoying so much learning about the foundations of poetry. I hope you take the risk, Izabella! I'm sure it'll be very satisfying!
Katherine, I am! And that's such a compliment! I remember reading 'Goblin Market' when I was younger. And I love Dante Gabriel Rossetti's paintings. I suppose Substack is like a huge Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood! Or maybe I'm just overthinking. Either way, thank you for taking the time to read. I really appreciate it.
Thanks Nazish. Yep. That was the intention. I'm not sure it entirely works, but I think it's getting there. Funny, though. While I obviously wanted to write in this particular structure, there's no restricting where the narrative of the poem led me. Another thing I love about trying to write poetry.
Thank you, Priyal. I suppose these sorts of sonnets are supposed to me more explicitly about love. But this ended up being about regret. Either way, I'm glad it resonated with you.
Oh I admire so much poets that write sonnets! This worked really really beautifully. 🤍 Maybe someday I’ll risk myself into it as well. 🙊

I love this poem so much! I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Christina Rossetti, but it gives me the vibes of her work. Beautiful!!!
That’s definitely not overthinking it!!! I love that idea so much! That’s absolutely how I’m going to think of Substack from now on, too! 😊

All the feels of Shakespearean poetry!

Simply beautiful ❤️
