Shakespeare wrote sonnets
High School English teachers assign sonnets
College kids may memorize devotional sonnets
Grad students pontificate upon sonnets
Poets ponder publishing pleasing books with sonnets
I do not write sonnets
I do not need 14 lines of rhythm and rhyme
imposing structure and discipline
Beauty, love, death, deception, adventure, nature, good, evil, truth
They conform to nothing
Give me free verse or give me death!
This made me laugh. Even though I wrote the prompt, this is pretty much how I feel about sonnets.
lol, I think my reactive poem was probably fueled be exhaustion and delirium 🙂
