If my wriggled wily way
rig the rigmarole reeling road
on ballot paper trooping day

Snail, shell; cadaver, earth
an un-renege rocky oath
between body and soul, birth

You shall be the drumming breath
breathe into my succumb nostrils
and dancing to your rhythm is my debt

I, the puppet piper play. On a par
with your dictating masked tune
of you, the idol and I, worshipper

A castle beckons on the outskirt of island
and dollars dwell with western made possessions
where you live to milk the blessed land

Your quiet face, godfather, will rule the populace
I shall bear no liver to erode or dare
say no to your heavy tongue. All the days

Of all my regimes. And I stand, power
intoxicated. Rig me in now! And when I grabbed
mantle, I shall erect a selfless jerichoed tower


suggest a suitable title, please.

TAKE NOT!
“Take not the flute from Unoka
Thou black minion from Gehenna”

~
Take not tranquil from Midgard
Or tavern from the drunkard
The curfews, called in thy honour
Curb strumpets off their candour
Hurls the brothel from the temptress,
Acheron’s pit from Heccat, heists
Thou art a black salvage that serve age
Through cryptic messages that mess sages
Then do you now thy carnage?
But fools call rage thy courage
To take cosmos from mortals
Defile fate and halts its stars
Before eyes behold their maiden twinkles
Flee Death! nemesis triumphs like wrinkles.

I don't know how you'll feel, but what you wrote is definitely not a sonnet. May be you are trying to write a quatern composed of 4 quatrains with 8 syllables per line and also has a refrain in different place in each quatrain. If the lines in quotations is not among the poem then its a sonnet...and looking at it with a noble eye, you disobeyed the law(s) in sonnet...The English sonnets has 10 syllables, Italian sonnets has 10 or 11 syllables, French sonnet has 12 syllables per line, and all with different rhyming pattern. I like the fact that you mixed modern and archaic words to portray your message...re-edit your work...thumbs up.

noble cares.

I really appreciate your constructive criticism. I won't get into the defense to hide the flaws in the poem but the truth is that I'm well aware of all the rules of versification but I deliberately disobeyed them. When I first wrote it I had a normal free verse poem in mind but due to the cuttings and editing I decided to introduce a sonnet within my own convenience.
I'll try to transform it into a conventional sonnet though.

You don't have to disobey the law in the name of creativity, you can be sue for that grin. Sonnet is composed with beautiful form and structure which gives us freedom of words to portray our thoughts and ideas. You can handle words as if you are playing a draft. "Ye poetry doth not snore".

You're quite right bro. I didn't check the word count before terming it a 'sonnet', I only just checked the Shakespearian style he used and the iambic pentameters. (my bad cheesy)

The word count is what I hate most about it (sonnet).

But contemporary poets tend to flow with the rhyming i.e. ababcdcdefefgg; ababbcbccdcdee or 8 lines of abbaabba/octave and 6 sestet of cdcdcd (I think) scheme while ignoring the syllabic count which are mutually exclusive to separate genres of the sonnet.

I hope you understand moi?

Yah ryt that's y I love sonnets and refrains smiley

I love the Shakespearean sonnet too because of its structure...three quatrains with a rhyming couplet for the last two lines.

yah sonnet is beautiful. most of my written poems are sonnets, and any poems with refrains e.g kyrielle and quatern.

mirrored and trijan refrain?

Yeah I love refrains too eg. Terzanelle and Villanelle (even though they can be quite tasking at times)
my fav.s are narrative e.g epic, cowboy, ABC, octavarima, terza/rima and other short forms, and that's cuz these forms takes time to write.
