The sonnet’s the thing! I’ve been into it
For something like seventeen months or more
Upon it you can hang anecdotes, wit,
Have fun with it - an excellent amour.
The sum total of fourteen lines is your
Guideline, and you can use rhymes if you want.
Myself, I use this scheme, but it’s not law:
ABAB BCBC in front
Then CABC brings you to the hunt
For a fine defining final couplet
Formed from AB. A busy day in store?
Maybe you’re tired, aggressive, bored or blunt?
There’s still time to write a daily sonnet,
Inspired or messy, poured out from your core.
