could’ve been your major
a question asked by scholars
could have been
the day you missed class
could have been
your Mona Lisa smile
loved not is half a couplet

I tried to leave a comment earier, but it disappeared! *sob* :)
This poem has a powerpacked message in its few lines. Dynamite of an ending. Well done!
Looks like I've got lots of catching up to do, have just started a knew course and have been neglecting you all, lovely irony
Half sonnet. Thats a thought. Maybe I should do one. Full sonnets are kind of killers for me.
This reminds me of my dad. He always asked questions like this to me. With no answers..
He wanted the best for me. I don't know if I was/am.
Hi Aurora! Sorry you've been having trouble leaving comments. I've never tried writing a half sonnet before. Only seven lines is a real short space to do the variety of tasks a sonnet requires. The couplet was especially chgallenging. I'm glad this worked for you. Thanks for the great comment sweet lady!
Hi Sue! Thanks for coming by and leaving your lovely comment - it is great to hear from you again. Glad you enjoyed the irony this carries. Thanks for the great comment, you have been missed.
Hi GST! Give it a try some time. It was real challenging but I was pretty thrilled it said what I wanted. The concept was just perfect for what this poem wanted to say.
I'm sure you are everything your dad ever hoped you would be and so many wonderful things he never dreamed were possible beside. I'm sure he is very proud of you (and watching over you with the great love fathers always feel)!
Enjoyed this much. Well done.
Thanks Don! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this. Thanks for the comments.
This is like half a scoop of ice cream, not enough!!
So do you feel you got out of half a sonnet what you would have gotten from a full one?
Sometimes half a couplet is enough
it begs the question though...
is the couplet half full
or half empty?
Hi Pat! Thanks for the comment! You're right and that is exactly the point, half is not enough, especially in love! Thanks for the great comment, my friend.
Hey cool cat, how is the Ozman today? I think I got more from the half sonnet than I would have gotten from a full one. I got the opportunity to illustrate what the sonnet was trying to tell. Good poetic question Ozy but I think you might try is my heart all full because it is completely broken because the love I felt didn't become real? Thanks, as always, for the interesting comments that bring on a discussion, my friend.
As I promised you, now I am visiting your blog.i am in the process of reading your poems
Hi Meruert! I am delighted to see you here. You are always welcome and I look forward to more of your comments. I can't wait to watch another film with you (that was great fun, although the film was pretty sad). See you soon!
