Welcome to Sonnets Happen. There are over 200 poems on this site, each an individual post. In order to simplify using this site, here are a few navigation tips.
Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is located above the post. It has broad categories and is the easiest way to browse poems. "Sample" is a selection of 10 poems that I think are representative of my work. "Newest" is a list of my newest poems.
Labels
Labels are located at the bottom of each poem. Clicking on a Label will list all poems with that Label. I have labeled each poem with at least one Label. In most cases I find the newer poems more interesting than the older ones. Hence I have created a label called "Recent" that covers poems from 2013 to the present and includes more than half of the posted poems. The label "Faves" has most of my favorites. In addition, there are labels for the year the poem was written.
Search Bar
To the right of the post is the search bar. If you know the name of the poem or words from the poem, you can type them here. Also, if you want to see all the poems in a given year, you can type the year in the search bar; the poems start in 1986 and there is at least one in nearly every subsequent year.
Table of Contents
The remainder of this post is a Table of Contents. You can look for the name of a poem and then type it in the Search Bar to see that poem (it will also show this table of contents).
