Tony
You have made a century after the nervous nineties, as they say in Cricket. Brilliantly played with style and verve. My heartiest congratulations, friend. I am an avid lover of the game and have played till I was 33. And as you say a sonnet cannot be undone. Keep them flowing through your mighty pen.

This is great
I like this sonnet a lot, what it says about words, too true. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mneme
I'm struggling though at the moment to do all the things I want to do. I think it's the computer's fault. More and more 'things' are emerging to be done that each individual thing has less time available. I spent half the evening trying to get in touch with the people responsible for shipping my webcam back to Belgium or possibly Germany, instead of delivering it to me when I was at home, or leaving it with a neighbour. I need to go to bed!

Hello Ypun
Thanks for your support. Yeah, politics mustn't be forgotten in a diary format. It helps link our lives to other people's and place ourselves in history. Plus it often gives us things to be angry about. Grr.

Thanks Troosha.
Yesterday's sonnet, though, was probably the hardest of the lot to write! I wonder what message you saw in today's sonnet? Hopefully it's one I meant to convey!

Tonyzonit and Troosha
Happy 100th, Tony (the next one, you realise,is several decades away..)  A lot covered here..  I've seen more than a few passing mentions to the power of words in the last day or so and said my own piece on that too. Along with Troosha I thought I saw a message in this sonnet - you can keep us literary types busy and happy..!

Came for the Bombay Mix-LOL.Why miss your century celebration.Cricket?

This is better than cricketeers hitting their century. Congrats---quite an apt political and right to speak, sonnet. I cannot help political themes myself...the politicians affect our lives and deaths, even to the extent where we will be buried or cremated. Congrats Tony. TONYZONNET= Tonyz Dunnit! Here's your gift--

Tony
A great deal more "substance" today than yesterday's beer influenced sonnet.    You fleshed this one out with style and creativity.  Perhaps a hidden message in there as well but maybe I just imagined it.  Congratulation on sonnet #100!!!   Time flies when you're having fun.
