Here are some of my personal, unabridged notes that I wanted to share after finishing work on my Elizabethan era play Through the Mullioned Door, which I hope to get performed at The Shakespeare Festival, in Cedar City, UT. The play will be in my forthcoming book Return to Elizabeth as well! The play contains 32 sonnets plus another poem, with some 'Danielle Sainte-Marie' sonnet-styles I invented. These notes are details about Sonnet no.1. I hope you enjoy the notes. They give an insight into what goes on in my brain, and in the fine art of writing poetry.
'Danielle Sainte-Marie Sonnet': True Volta turn at 14, 10 syllables each line but for line 14 there are 14 syllables. Rhyme scheme is ABAB, BABC, DCDEE, F (Note: can be altered for future sonnets by appropriating CDEEF in place of 3rd stanza, or may be added on for further effect if turning sonnet to antivdactylus/spondee.) This makes the rhyme scheme as sequential in alphabet throughout the poem by English standards, but plays to triskaidekaphobia in chronological numerical arrangement, to wit: A (1st line), B (4th line), B (5th line), C (8th line), D (9th line), E (12th line) for a 1,3,1,3,1,3 coordination of primary content lines. The couplet of the sonnet is found in lines 12 and 13, which has never been done.Sonnet no.1
Some poet of gospel, I fear, has writ
I as darkling into his pages' fate,
His speaker's mind somewhere verily split,
Leaving the poet in unawares state
This has come to rule my pained mind of late
No food or drink can make the feeling quit
So I see unknown lands, it sounds so prate
I visit nightly a woman and door
But, I never built that door or met her
I see actors playing me and her, what for?
Has a god become my biographer?
So I am tortured, my friend, of a ghost,
She in ether that I could love the most.
Or, might this be, my family's curse of insanity?
