ysabetwordsmithI've sponsored the poem "Lior's Dream" by thesilentpoet from the October Poetry for the Masses project. This is a Schrodinger's Heroes/64-squared crossover, inspired by a prompt from wyld_dandelyon.

Sonnets traditionally incorporate a turn or "volta" at the ninth line, especially in the Italian version written with 8/6 verse division. In the Shakespearean version written 4/4/4/2, there's often a twist in the last couplet instead.
This is typical of forms where the last stanza changes or otherwise offsets itself from what lies above it. I am very fond of structurally supported twists or reversals in my poetry.

Thank you!

Who chooses to stay and who chooses to go? What makes a team, or a family? Where do people's obligations and dreams take them?
