The Incendiary Lit Heroic Crown Affair Day 8- Time to double up!
Now you should have a few sonnets written, if the free-verse ‘base poem’ strategy’s working for your Sonnets, write three more of those, otherwise, today is double sonnet day! Write two of your sonnets today. Try to incorporate a couple small things from previous poems, and if you can, pick one of the lines from Sonnet 15 that has a homonym (if you used the homonym suggestion) and find a way to twist the meaning of that line from what it meant in Sonnet 15, make it darker (or lighter) than how the line read in S15, utilize enjambment to make the slight switch-up in wording flow through without a hitch. Tomorrow we’ll be looking closely at the already written sonnets and working on incorporating a little more of themselves in each other. What? Well, little things like a rocking chair showing up in more than one poem because of its significance to the final poem (though not so that each poem has a flashing neon sign that says “this rocking chair is very important!” but just include the chair in passing) which will really help tie the piece together more as a whole entity and less as 14 separate sonnets and a compilation of their first lines. Have at it: either 2 sonnets or 3 free-verse ‘base poems’ for the rhyming/syllabic impaired. Tomorrow is a big revision day.
