A Musing Tell, Sonnet from my Muse Options

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.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the visit and the kudos. As you say, pronunciation, enunciation, colloquial differences in stress points
in some words and that forever language barrier makes it difficult to be all things to all people. As long as I feel
satisfied with my renderings and make other people enjoy reading them, I'm happy as a clam.

I did notice on the other site your mention of "Larry being against capping each line". My take on the reason the
old masters utilized this form has more to do with the "typesetters" who printed the poems and books than the authors
themselves. Having been a "printer's devil" in high school and setting the "sorts" and proofing the "forme" gave me a
little insight into the literature and people of that era. Most sorts were carved and it was much easier to carve out
a large capital letter than a small one. Don't know if this was the main reason for capping the first letter of each line
of type or not.

Your soliloquy on form and stress points was very nice. I didn't mind it at all and it was informative to both the
layman and the more experienced writers.

Again, thanks for the read and comments.

Larry
