120 "Schoolboyish" Petrarchan Sonnets is a collection composed in a rather basic manner that essentially consisted of starting with a first word and then 'merely running' with that same word.The aforementioned schoolboyish aspect of the entire collection should not at all detract from a sense that a sonnet can be very narrow and also highly ornate. The various individual examples may seem to veer here, there, and practically everywhere in terms of possible 'meanings'; meanwhile, each sonnet may be in strict keeping or almost strict keeping with the apparently preferred formulaics of John Keats and of the sprung-rhythm 'master' Gerard Manley Hopkins.SOME FORESTS Some forests must be rich and lovely parts of earthly wishes for a wondrous daywhose every moment soon might seem to saykind words that speak of splendor that restarts. Implicit in a wooded world are chartson which might seem to thrive a fine arrayof plants and animals that surely payobeisances eclipsing human arts. Endangered though all forests now must seem, a great resilience rules what Nature istill wondrousness will not go up in steam. Perfection forms an adamantine fizzpermitting anything to form a dreamin which a million shadows dart and whiz.
