oh, just a whim...
Imagery can make your sonnet grim...
If purposeless you staple every word
If only in your coup the words do brim
They never rise to heaven like a bird
For contents you should always give a damn
Just counting rhythm never gets you where
The words do flow and give a dunk that's slam
You need to dare – to make the reader care...
And here's the line traditional where shift
Is needed to excitement give at all
The sonnet needs to keep its head a-lift
Don't close your heart to matters seeming small...
And finally you happy close the deal
Your sonnet is completed, with a seal!

On Writing Sonnets
Imagery can make your sonnet grim...
If purposeless you staple every word
If only in your coup the words do brim
They never rise to heaven like a bird
For contents you should always give a damn
Just counting rhythm never gets you where
The words do flow and give a dunk that's slam
You need to dare – to make the reader care...
And here's the line traditional where shift
Is needed to excitement give at all
The sonnet needs to keep its head a-lift
Don't close your heart to matters seeming small...
And finally you happy close the deal
Your sonnet is completed, with a seal!
