OUR "WILLY" V's THE "SONNET" . . .




To learn a sonnet I has to read from the best and as English sonnets are known as the Shakespear’s sonnets - I took his most famous “Sonnet” 18 - I set to check the syllabel’s to make sure I was on the right road and low and behold 3 different syllable counters came up with a 3 different results  . . .

Where on earth do I go from there . . . ?

From poetry soup – 142 Syllabels . . . 
From WordCalc.com - 143 Syllabels. . .
From syllable counter. Net - 152 Syllabels . . . 

So pen to paper yet again . . .
In so - passing on my pain . . . ; )


OUR WILLY V’S THE SONNET

A)    I wasn’t winning any wars here . . . 
B)    I am feeling like I’ve been had . . .
B)    Shakespeare seems to be a gad . . . 
A)    Are you sure he is a poetic seer . . .

C)    His syllable’s just ain’t adding up . . .
D)    Is our Willy an exception to the rule . . . ?
D)    Or is someone doing a brain cruel . . . 
C)    Can I even win this sonic sonnet cup  . . . ?

D)    I’ve checked with every syllable counter . . .
E)    And “Behold” none did add up the same . . .
E)    I’m starting to wonder - who’s to blame . . . ?
D)   This sonnet I’ll never be able to mounter . . .

F)    So the moral of this lament can only be . . .
F)    Is never once believe the syllables of he . . . 


I know my syllabels are still not in the right counts  . . .
That’s because I still have not check them amounts . . .

I do believe I’m getting somewhere I see it getting form . . .
But those bloody syllabels just what is the flippin’ norm . . . ?

Driving home for Christmas . . . ; )
