Tinker Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Playing with a form to create an example poem, to keep me writing and inspired by current events. So here is an attempt at a Dutch Sonnet. I know my iambic pentameter suffers a little. ZelenskyA hero rises in this world today.Ukraine, an Eastern European state,a sovereign country is in the wayof Putin's dreams to reinstate the lateUSSR demised some 30 years away.Its President refuses to fall prey. To stay means death. he will not kau-tau. Is flight to fight a better option now? The people, teachers, store clerks, chefs, and morestand tall behind the man who chose to leadfrom where their capital resides. Where waris banging on the door. Assassins fail.He walks among his troops to feed a needbut Russia's might may be much to prevail. ~~Judi Van Gorder Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Are we inspired by world events, or are we now suffering from world events? A deserving accolade to a deserving leader. A complicated form well executed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
