Sonnet No.1 implies the existence of further sonnets

I haven’t written many sonnets. I mean, they’re often poems about love and I hate everyone. Just kidding. I’ve just traditionally been more of a free verse and blank verse girl, I guess.

But I did pen my first ever sonnet earlier this year, creatively titled “Sonnet No.1”. (Hey, it’s good enough for Shakespeare, it’s good enough for me.)

November 2023 member magazine.

You can find “Sonnet No.1” in the official 2023 Poetry Club member magazine. The theme was healing and the collection is called The Other Side of Pain. It’s available as a free downloadable ebook so go check it out! You might even discover your new favourite poet/artist (probably not me, but I’ll be flattered if it’s me, lol).

Read The Other Side of Pain by the Poetry Club.

I’m planning to release a poetry book at some point… but first I need to sculpt my scraps into a reasonably coherent collection. 😉
