I had never written a sonnet before in my life, not even for school, and I struggled especially with the meter. I tended always to be wanting to generate eight-syllable instead of ten-syllable lines, especially.<br /><br />Now with so many under my belt it's a lot easier, and feels almost natural.<br /><br />The hard part is when I've got a strong idea of what I want to say but there just aren't words to fit the rhyme scheme or the meter. Iambic pentameter is a cruel mistress. You may notice I occasionally fudge on that a little.Kate Sherrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706419613939420574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631080913626858673.post-83963670497756052572009-06-30T08:22:08.389-06:002009-06-30T08:22:08.389-06:00Interesting undertaking.
