Poetry Contest Description
Let your imagination run wild.
A sonnet is the form required. You may submit no more than three entries. The subject is wild....the form very specific. Good luck with it. Have fun composing.
PS: I must note that you are educating me here: through you I find the difference between an English sonnet and an Italian one, So the 4-4-4-2 lines scheme is excellent. Regards to all, Robert.

About Lesbos
To visit this fabulous isle
Has been our dream
But from our reality a far cry
So far away it makes me scream.
We have been friends in hiding
Loving each other oh so very much
Always shedding tears when parting
But to live apart we must.
Our society so filled with hate and lies
And hypocrisy wears so many hats
As the various clothes of the passerbys
One day we shall be free at last
No more loving on the sly
And ignominy a thing of the past.
Has been our dream
But from our reality a far cry
So far away it makes me scream.
We have been friends in hiding
Loving each other oh so very much
Always shedding tears when parting
But to live apart we must.
Our society so filled with hate and lies
And hypocrisy wears so many hats
As the various clothes of the passerbys
One day we shall be free at last
No more loving on the sly
And ignominy a thing of the past.

I Saw A Nude Shirley
With that AC unit broke down, the pool
outside my apartment was the only
spot this guy knows where he lets himself cool
off in but then, I saw a nude Shirley.
And she was not there alone for her best
friend Vanessa was also there naked
and licking all over her without rest
which she enjoys though she was not in bed.
And after I saw that lesbo scene, this
guy almost felt like dropping his trunks and
letting himself probe one backdoor with his
rod but they saw me where I had to stand.
That made them cover up and go running
into their place... I heard a door locking.

Hello dear: I voted myself on that one. Sometimes I let people vote. Not this time. Yours was just too good. Period. Regards, Robert.
PS: for this Lesbos competition. YOU write what you want they way you want as long as it is in the sonnet form.
