I Wrote Sonnets And Decorated It With Vectors From The Internet

ADVERTISEMENT

I fell in love with poetry when I found Shakespeare’s sonnets for the first time. I write in other formats, but I was quite partial to sonnets.

I have written a number of these little songs and some of them I want to get illustrated. I also can draw, but I opted to use vectors from freepik.com because I am quite busy with my work.

Soon, I’ll use my own hand-drawn illustrations.

Some of it was quite good. However, the "iced champagne as red as your lips" alliteration did no favours. Also "stereotype" and "fries" do not really belong in a sonnet using antiquated phrasing in Shakespearian style. The Grandfather Clock was not invented until almost 100 years after Shakespeare's death and hugely expensive, it would not be found in a tailor's home. The term "Cavalier" did not come into use until the mid 17th century and the english civil war.The term "mahogany" was 1st recorded 100 years after Shakespeare's death, was hugely expensive and rare and would not have been used for a door in a Tailor's house. Bisque porcelain did not come into use until mid 18th century." Phobia" did not become a term until late 18th century - 200 years after Shakespeare.Pink as a name for a colour did not appear until a century after Shakespeare. Sorry - but you need to cross reference the terms you are using if you are looking to write in the style of a historical era. Is like spotting a wristwatch being worn in Gladiator. I like the style of much of your writing just some of the words dont quite ring authentic "Crispy" would have been "crisp or crispen".

I am not writing with Shakespeare's era in mind, although I admit this is just an experimental writing. I don't even know 'antiquated phrasing' until I've read your comment. Reading it out loud doesn't make a flowing rhythm which, I admit, I am not good at. Sorry if it didn't suit those particular rules. After all, I am amateur who just loves sonnets. But I truly appreciated your comment! They are all but constructive.
