The process of writing a poem utilizing a sonnet style Urban Dictionary

The little Love-God lying once asleep Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste life to keep Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand The fairest votary took up that fire Which many legions of true hearts had warm'd; And so the general of hot desire Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarm'd. This brand she quenched in a cool well by, Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual, Growing a bath and healthful remedy For men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Love's fire heats water, water cools not love. Urban Dictionary

Cupid laid by his brand, and fell asleep: A maid of Dian's this advantage found, And his love-kindling fire did quickly steep In a cold valley-fountain of that ground; Which borrow'd from this holy fire of Love A dateless lively heat, still to endure, And grew a seething bath, which yet men prove Against strange maladies a sovereign cure. But at my mistress' eye Love's brand new-fired, The boy for trial needs would touch my breast; I, sick withal, the help of bath desired, And thither hied, a sad distemper'd guest, But found no cure: the bath for my help lies Where Cupid got new fire--my mistress' eyes.

The [sonnet] is a poetic form of fourteen lines -- everything else about it has been experimented with. 1. [Wilfred] [Owen's] Anthem for Doomed Youth: What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' [rapid rattle] Can [patter] out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells, Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,-- The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And [bugles] calling for them from sad [shires]. What candles may be held to speed them all? Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their [pall]; Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds. 2. W. B. Yeats' [Leda] and the Swan: A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed By the dark webs, her [nape] caught in his bill, He holds her helpless breast upon his breast. How can those terrified vague fingers push The feathered glory from her loosening thighs? And how can body, laid in that white rush, But feel the strange heart beating where it lies? A shudder in the loins engenders there The broken wall, the burning roof and tower And [Agamemnon] dead. Being so caught up, So mastered by the brute blood of the air, Did she put on his knowledge with his power Before the indifferent beak could let her drop? ❋ Dawn Easterbrook (2009)
