Sonnet X : The Apology



And thus, for ever lasting peace to you I swear
And unto death, in tormenting guilt undertake
The vow, the solemn word that never shall I share
My happiness, my deference you so deem fake


And so I will not admire your graceful dance
And neither would I wonder at your knowledge bank
But silently, shed tears and keep looking askance
When ravens, on you, drop their shit and mongrels flank


Or when you trip in gleaming shoes, or dress hip hop
Or when you count the times a person goes to wash
I vouch, shall I not be amused, but instead drop
My head, and acknowledge the kill of your panache


With this covenant I sign off, and with this clause
Now do me good and be mindful of these faux pas

Quite a revenge ! Nice;y done . Subtle and beautiful .
At first I was about to respond via the mail and then it struck me :P

:D :D Thanks S...and no, not a revenge...instead as the title says, an apology...
now it is a different thing altogether that it assumed such shape...

glad you liked

Quick question:

Is it a mandate to have asonnet in 4,4,2 ka breakup?

6,6,2 not valid?
and 7,7?

Reciprocate soon.

EsotericPromethean said...

why do you not like the 4 4 4 2 breakup?
the two standard forms that i know use generally the 4442
(Shakespearean) and the 4433 (Italian) the format can be the way you
want it to be...nobody stops you...i dont know :(

(is this the only comment that you can think of...nothing that
includes a genius or a good one or something good? )
:P :P :P :P :P

reply soon

haha!!
hadd genius hai yaar tumhara sense of humor..!!!
ab yaar sachhai ye hai ki tumhari writing mein rhyming scheme ka khel bada important role play karta hai..

bahut log ka thyming scheme jahaan par schem(ed) hota hai tumhara self emanating hota hai..
isse hadd genius nahin to aur kya bolenge??

P.S.: I think personal afflictions handicap one's ability to write with the happiness which is otherwise reflected in a carefree writing style..!!!
