Sonnets

By Tristan Stone

A first collection of Sonnets on Eros and Philos: Though many minds more brilliant and more trained Have set their pens to write iambic lines On grander themes than these, and some - so famed The form is named after these kings of rimes. But neither Petrach nor the Bard were first To school this metre; neither were they last - For near eight centuries have now rehearsed The arguments which have not been surpassed. So in these fourteen lines of six and eight One hundred-forty syllables complete By craft that carries verse inadequate On metaphors of such iambic feet - To Poesy's great Olympus - whose words reign O'er love and wisdom, which these leafs contain.
