Tell the truth, Cyndi - did you get the "Will Sonnet" pun?

Is he not real? He messaged me. I'm gonna PM you.

Hi Jemma,
Yes, Poetray is an actual hobbyist & has 5 reviews; I have not met him, but you can screen him as you would anyone else. Looks legit to me though. :)

Will's sonnet V isn't very iambic and he's fucked up the pentameter on several lines.

This thread is very educational, who knew GlobeSpotter was so knowledgeable about poetry, hmm. :)

Who would have thunk it?
The world traveler would be well versed in verses?
A true Renaissance Man. Not only knowledgeable in the going rates for GFE in Caracas and Singapore, but also the pentameters of sonnets. I'm slightly impressed.

Cboy....I may not fully understand each and every "pun" that is hidden in poetry. But if it's sexual in nature...I'm ready for the ride!

Quote: The Significance of Translating the Puns in Shakespeare’s Sonnets

Pun is an important rhetoric device in literature. It is especially popular in the Elizabeth Age. William Shakespeare was a great punster, and he made a lot of puns in his sonnets. The objective of this paper is to call readers’ and translators’ attention that the puns should be given appropriate attention. This paper finds that puns are significant play a very important role in Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and that puns were not given appropriate attention in the Chinese translation. Without understanding the puns, one can never fully understand the sonnets. Poetry is difficult to translate, and puns make it more difficult. However, translating the sonnets without translating the puns is only a half translation.

He is real and he's a great client. Although I have not seen him for more than fbsm, I'd see him again.
