    Today's poem on Penny's Poetry Blog:
    In April, by David Morton
    [...]
    No friendly spire, no daily-trodden way
    But somehow alters in the April air,
    Grown dearer still, on some enchanted day,
    For shining garments they have come to wear.

    Yeah, I noticed that I've used 7 of his sonnets since the start, and I'm nowhere near running out. And that's from just his first book, the only
    one I've been able to find online so far.

    His sonnets are always well written. The biggest criticism I can make is they're all very much the same, all mixed in the midrange without any
    highs or lows, if you know what I mean. So they may not read well at one sitting; but mixed in once a month they're always a good read.

    Interestingly, in my opinion, this makes David Morton a good subject to study in the creation of the sonnet, which sometimes involves learning what not to do, or what to improve on.

    I think Pendragon is nit picking you over a comma.

    A small example of his hypocrisy.

    I'm not the one who claims to be visited by sonnets

    You /did/ claim you were visited by little "fairy men" once, though, Pendragon.

    Enough said.

    No, Donkey, I did not say any such thing.

    I said that I've been visited by fairies on more than one occasion; these fairies were of both sexes, and their size is unknown to me, as I was unable to see them.

    You sound like a fucking crazy fool, Voodoo Boy...

    Not really.

    So you say you see "fairies".
