The 4th Sonnet of my Balcony Marionette

It’s only the 4th of twelve so do not be hasty as you may not like them all (but they all rhyme). I do want to have a reading with the corresponding puppet dancing. Yes, each sonnet is based on an actual puppet. I am not sure of the castillo. Brenda’s Bar on Pedro Ascencio has an excellent spot for a puppet show.

I plan on posting one sonnet every week. Our host himself wrote “keep them coming”.

The poems took me several months to write. I carefully observed and made notes about each marionette and researched what the predominant colours symbolized in Mexico. I used my personal knowledge of Mexico etc to complete the sonnets. I also read extensively about Shakespearean sonnets and read many examples of sonnets.

Thank you for reading.
