Re: Re: My Entry: Sonnet

Yeah, I was aware. It just doesn't feel right without the feminine ending in those lines -- the lines are burdened with an extra syllable as our eyes are burdened with more of the night, and the lines grow long as the moonlight traces long lines through the darkness. I was aware that the sonnet didn't meet your criteria, but I thought it was worth finishing and sharing with you anyway! ;)

And just out of interest, why the restriction to 10 syllables and no feminine endings and rhymes?

Oh, and thanks for the reply.
