The Modern Elizabethan Sonnet
These poems are sending me quite insane
Why do they have to have ten syllables?
What was on his mind in these Elizabethan
years? Shakespeare must have lost his marbles.
Don’t give us this sort of strain in these times.
Our generation wouldn’t take the time
to create these sorts of intricate lines.
They’re too interested in make-up to rhyme.
Is this long enough to be complete?
Does it have the right rhythm for a sonnet?
Does the emotion conform to the beat?
Will Ms. A unleash her wrath upon it?
Finally it’s over and done with
No more sonnets for me here forthwith!
