    @e-b-raulands I love sonnets – so beautiful to read, although I’ve never written one before.

    @kb-writer I guess I’ll add my bit here.  I made this one out of my head, so bear with me! 😉 I suppose you could call it iambic.  It’s a nine-line stanza; pattern: ABCCBBCAA.
    I think that’s as much as I can say.

    My example: There Have Been Those Days

    There have been those days
    That fall apart,
    When I cannot stand
    On this land;
    As I waver in my heart
    Though afresh I start,
    My life tastes bland,
    Filled with ashen greys—
    There have been those days.

    Is this the sort of stuff you were looking for?
