Poetry Month Mash-Up: Day Nineteen

Rena's at it again - today we had to write a sonnet!  Seriously?  Well, at least she said we could make it funny!  I think it's appropriate that the sign for 'S' is a fist, as if to say "Curse you, sonnet!!"   I really agonized over this one but I think it turned out ok!  What do you think?

S is for Sonnet

I'd easily curse you for giving this choice,

or praise you for making me stretch.

You've forced me to write with a new kind of voice.

A voice that belongs to a kvetch!

I'm not a big fan of this odd form of verse,

the rules seem to change all the time.

The samples I read went from bad to worse -

well, mostly the ones not in rhyme.

And what's up with all the Shakespearean words?

I don't understand them one bit!

The number of words could be cut down by thirds.

Just get off the pot or ____.

I'm now at the end.  I'm done for the day.

I've written a sonnet - hip-hip hooray!!
