Poem -
So...You Wanna Be a Soneteer?
O', be not proud or prone to discontentβ
would Shakespeareβs sonnets have e'er graced the page
had plays like Romeo and Juliet
not lent iambic meter to the stage?
Β
Sir Thomas Wyatt wrote with great panache
about a hunt set deep within the wood.
It left the novice hunter in the washβ
his weary buttocks chaffed and rough as wood.
Β
Though there are many ways to pen a poem,
a sonnet must adhere to certain rules.
And should one stray too far away from home,
a sonnet needs rebuilt, with proper tools.
Β
If iambic meter did ne'er exist,
imagine all the wondrous works weβd miss.
