Friday Fling #185 June 22nd 2012<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

As we move officially into summer one of the first things which comes to mind is – summer romance! <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Well maybe not necessarily. But it’s an attractive topic, and even if romance is not our thing at the moment, we all have memories about it. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

What and who does the phrase “summer romance” bring to your mind and heart? How about expressing that in a Love Sonnet!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Love Sonnets are usually directed to a lover or about a lover, the qualities for which they are loved, etc. Shadow Poetry notes that:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines (iambic pentameter) with a particular rhyming scheme:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Examples of a rhyming scheme:<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

#1) abab cdcd efef gg
\n#2) abba cddc effe gg
\n#3) abba abba cdcd cd <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Usually, English and Italian Sonnets have 10 syllables per line.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

If this format seems a bit intimidating, just think how proud you will be to have written one!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

What would make your love sonnet extra fun would be if you use Shakespearean language in it! We’ll leave it up to you to add whatever you think of as Shakespearean.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This week the Friday Fling celebrates summer romance<\/font> by going all hoity-toity high-falutin’<\/font> with Shakespearean-style Love Sonnets!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to save time to read and comment lovingly on your fellow Pals’ Shakespearean sonnetizations. Then go forth ye merry maids and whatchacallems and romance the first weekend of summer!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Fickle Finger of Fate Award for\u00a0 June 15th<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Congratulations Dee!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
