Writing a Sonnet
I pray you, dost thou knowest of sonnets?
What is a sonnet? Who knows? I know not
Shakespeare’s sonnets receives many plaudits
Listening to bards ‘till out of earshot
Handcuffed by only using fourteen lines
Three quatrains, two couplets, ten syllables
With a unique rhyme scheme terror inclines
Shackled with a set meter and baffles
This format is tough, wilt thou not agree?
E’en thou can compose if thou art clever
Shakespeare doth not make this easy, doth he?
Forget not these rules and now hark hither
Oft only the bizarre folk think this queer.
Thou shall find this sound pleasing to thine ear
