| Sonneteering Justified | |

Once I was hooked on Haiku , but now it seems I am stuck on Sonnets Sonneteering Justified. In the sixteenth century it was the norm for the educated of the time to write and use the sonnet's laudatory form to assuage the pains of any lover's plight . They left Petrarch and Spenser in the past; were freed of metric bonds by William's skill , whose stanzas sang , whose lines so neatly cast, bind hearts and minds of all his readers still. Poets Augustan , Metaphysical and Romantic followed the pattern , but with wider ranges and showed to the excessively pedantic a form still vigorous throughout those changes . To all , for their abilities in creation I offer this humble sonnet in dedication .
