Understanding a sonnet and what it is among other poets can do a lot for writing your own. The Shakespearean Sonnet is probably the most difficult of the sonnet forms, but with a little practice, and a little knowledge, and a little determination, and a little heart, you can do it, too. Did I mention sleepless nights And knowing about the Muses and who they were and what they can do for a poet It is all in this casual approach to writing Shakespearean Sonnets, and it even tells you which of the nine Muses will be singing for you when you write. If you are very good, and very lucky, and very persistent, all nine of them will join in a choir for you some night. Then, what a beautiful sonnet you will write!
Also writing under the pseudonym of Vee Bdosa the Doylestown Poet, Ron's book LOVE POETRY was awarded the Prestigious EDITOR'S CHOICE award. His work has been widely published and distributed in many forms, ranging from short stories in FIELD AND STREAM MAGAZINE, IN POSSE REVIEW, the Sacramento Union Weekender, and he was a regular contributor to OVER THE OZARKS for three years. His early poetry caught the attention of Poet Maya Angelou, who took the time to write to him and give him many tips and suggestions, tips that he uses to this very day in his writing of poetry, song lyric, and other writing.
