Writing sonnets is not easy to do.

They’re silly blippets that take too much time.

You could, for example, write a haiku

And save yourself from learning how to rhyme.

Sonnets abide to that Iambic Rule.

Well, as far as that Shakespeare fellow knew.

Now some use sonnets as a different tool.

Their blippets don’t rhyme every other line.

They’re called Modern Sonnets, making no sense.

So, if you must go write a sonnet, just

Note this crucial rule: be autonomous

And follow any of the rules you want.

You’ll be balked, frustrated, and very mad.

Now you’ve written a sonnet. Aren’t you glad?
