Cynthia has read and re-read Todd’s Petrarchan sonnet and she seizes on its flaws, and fires back a sonnet of her own designed to send her man a wake-up call.


Problems too weighty, solutions too short,
the sheets to the wind, the wind is too high.
Alas!  Is it come to this airy sky?
What hope have we at this late, last resort?
Whose hot night mean you by that sharp retort?
Kind words could prevail with me by and by,
if true deeds and acts to them you did tie.
Or would true colours, your kind words extort?
Subservience costs, intensity builds,
restitution earns more than it merits.
Infidelity is home to cowards;
traitors hang their hats in its two-faced guilds.
Light and languid, the lithesome whore gavottes,
honey-lipped with guile she leads you forwards.

CYNTHIA FLINGS HIS HALF HEARTED EFFORT BACK IN HIS FACE AND TELLS HIM HOW WEAK AND GULLIBLE HE HAS BECOME TO WANTONESS. SAD AND WELL DONE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

Kind words could prevail with me by and by,
if true deeds and acts to them you did tie.
Or would true colours, your kind words extort?

... therein lies the conundrum right at the turn of the sonnet, as you might expect, and central to the dynamics of a shifting-sands relationship. Remorse, repentence or regret? How will she ever know... they might all be crocodile tears. But Cynthia is starting to get beneath this thick skin, methinks... uncovering, perhaps, a toad...! :)) xx

I feel I am in a Shakespearian play, Cynthia is getting stronger, she will prevail, her cynicism is definitely growing..

Nice one, my friend, some more please....

Peace, love and light,
Amber

Deeply layered imagery envelops this sonnet, addressing an awakening in this relationship, hopefully to lead onward to consolation ...

Wales and Prince Charles could not court a better princely piece than this.

Uh, I do believe that Cynthia has delivered to Todd, in no uncertain runarounds, the facts of life. . . er . . . sonnet . . . to the brash and delusional young man.
