The Sultry Life of Sonnets Jeanette Sobey

Author note: - The Dance that is life...one day filled with joy, the next immersed in pain. Who can ever predict the next day, or would wish to... There are 57 Sonnets in this book. Sonnets of love, Sonnets of joy, Sonnets of Pain...life and love entangled within the world of Dance. For whether sliding into the sensual world of the Tango, or executing a quick fox trot through a busy day, one might dream of a successful performance. Nevertheless, whether successful or not, participation has its own rewards. Participation, indeed complete immersion on some occasions, enriches lives. To remain outside and looking in at the main event, though safe, shall forever dampen and dull life's journey. Two ladies, Isadora Duncan and Lola Montez, always plunged into the main arena and embraced it all. Their bold voices proclaimed loudly their views about passionate love and political and artistic matters. They lived their lives to the full. 29 of my sonnets in this book, direct from my Novel, Isadoralola, seek to represent their voices. 28 other sonnets wander into love's disarrays and the world of dance. All sonnets in traditional iambic pentameter, producing a musical quality when read, and in the classic verse form.
