This is a form invented by Jose Rizal M. Reyes of the Philippines
JOSE wrote another which he intended to name Melanesian
Wave which is only
different
in presentation being three quatrains and a couplet. It seems to me that
poets
have always had the freedom to present their sonnets as the muse dictated they
should. I am not posting it therefore as
a separate sonnet form.
Example Poem:
A Simple Flash! (Melanesian Sonnet)
She thinks perhaps I dream of her at night
and miss her when she's somewhere out of sight.
She believes that some how I deserve respect
and am her thoughtful brave and charming knight.
She thinks it's fun to hike or fly a kite,
or read a poem and talk by candle light.
She speaks her mind, and shares her thoughts unchecked;
objections are not taken as a sleight.
Her figure's full, her teases do incite;
She thinks her cleavage flashed just might excite
and grins and smiles when I become erect,
my validation proving she was right.
She thinks she can have sex and my respect.
I know my lady surely is correct.
