today's prompt is to write a sonnet. a classic theme of the grand poetical form of the sonnet is LOVE. A sonnet is 14 lines, each line comprised of 10 syllables. the structure of the poem varies and can be performed as an octave (8 lines) and a sestet (6 lines). Because irregular line breaks are near and dear to the heart of thighman82, the following sonnet is constructed of 3 quatrains (4 line stanza) and ends with a couplet (2 line stanza).
sonnet of a forlorn gigolo
I’ve loved thirteen women in my young life.
Broken down into categories, then
subdivided by genre. Though hard to
predict where and how the next affair may
go, all I know is that half my life has
been spent with ladies. countless hours of
devotion poured into the spectacle
of love. Attractions explored until it
became apparent they existed no
more. Another year becomes a woman
I’ve swallowed down hard, eyes watery and
In need of someone else to gaze upon.
Is the point of life to love? Or is it
Learning how to talk about what’s happened?
