Let's Write Brokeback Sonnets!

[ifyoucantfixit]

Up on Brokeback, alone, for one full moon
Where two cowboys once made sweet blissful love
Their time together ended much too soon
'Twixt passion's flame and fond cooing blithe dove
Ne'er spoke o' loves true name or gave it sound
For their love was true, as true it can be
And it was truly rare, the love they found
After four years apart they finally could see
True love's ecstasy was theirs sure enough
They tendered the flames of campfire and heart

Up on Brokeback, alone, for one full moon
Where two cowboys once made sweet blissful love
Their time together ended much too soon
'Twixt passion's flame and fond cooing blithe dove
Ne'er spoke o' loves true name or gave it sound
For their love was true, as true it can be
And it was truly rare, the love they found
After Four years apart, they finally could see
True love's ecstasy was theirs sure enough
They tendered the flames of campfire and heart
Alone, apart was exceedingly rough


=aside=  Janice - I edited your line 8 slightly to make it fit this iambic pentameter stuff - 10 syllables!  This is hard.  Please don't hate me!  Change it some other way if you want to!  I just want to try it the 'right' way a time or two, see if we can do it!

Up on Brokeback, alone, for one full moon
Where two cowboys once made sweet blissful love
Their time together ended much too soon
'Twixt passion's flame and fond cooing blithe dove
Ne'er spoke o' loves true name or gave it sound
For their love was true, as true it can be
And it was truly rare, the love they found
Four years apart, they finally could see
True love's ecstasy was theirs sure enough
They tendered the flames of campfire and heart
Alone, apart was exceedingly rough
Bitter sweet their love was, from end to start

Love Sublime, Jack and Ennis did not lack.

His radiant countenance, so sublime

How do I love Jack?  Let me count the ways.
His radiant countenance, so sublime
The depths of the seas at home in his gaze

How do I love Jack?  Let me count the ways.
His radiant countenance, so sublime
The depths of the seas at home in his gaze
To the height, breadth, and width my heart can climb.
