A Musing Tell, Sonnet from my Muse Options

[Larry]

A Musing Tell

She slips into my mind a whispered thought
about an untold tale or sentiment
I must reveal. No matter how it’s wrought,
conception must occur. Though transient,

it stays so I may grasp a truth which lies
like fecund seed or sprout in fallow field
which yearns for life. Its future or demise
may be a revelation yet revealed.

Dependent on a mood or time’s constraint,
that new insight is mulled. Fruition’s taste
upon the tongue is savored; flavor’s faint
but spice from each embellishment will haste

a dish filled with delight for all to see.
The picture of a thought she gave to me.

Hello Larry;
I'm one of those deserters that had abandoned this site for another due to lack of activity; actually, that's not what I want to talk about.
Your Sonnets are always flawless, and this one is a delight. The Shakespearean sonnet in the straight IP form is my favorite one, and as far as I can tell, you adhere to it beautifully. I don't ever feel the bumps that you had mentioned to Psyche; if there are, I would say it's the reader's scansion or recognizing strong and weak beats due to differences in pronunciations or regional accents. On another forum, one reader mentioned that my own verses were not always on the beat. First of all, I'm an Arizonan and the lady is English; secondly, when in doubt I always consult my Merian Webster dictionary that is quite clear on syllable stresses. But most importantly, many variations are commonly allowed in metric verse. Even mixed iambs and trochees are permitted, including added unaccented grace notes (as in music). If one manages to write the sonnet in a perfect beat without distorting or losing the message, that's all the better, but a monotonous click clack click clack can be the flaw in a flawless verse. Your sonnet is perfect, and the stresses are right on the mark. Again in some areas within the English-speaking world, some readers might stumble over the word "into." Some would say into, others say into. My dictionary states, into, with the stress on the "in." To the average reader of poetry this is of no matter at all; the natural voice inflection easily compensates for the wrongly perceived flaw.
Larry, I'd meant to make a brief comment on your excellent poem--but it turned out to be a lengthy discourse. You are a master craftsman and sonneteer. See you on the other side, lol. Jerry
