A sonnet is not that easy to write

I sat up thinking of this most the night.

Ten syllables per line, no more, no less,

Without rhyming, it can be quite a mess.



To write these darn things, you must be quite bright,

Forcing your mind to work on a new height.

You could write about somebody named Tess,

Or about her dog if you want, I guess.



I’m now almost finished, I’m almost done,

And I’ve realized this sonnet won’t be best.

I could do better, I could do worse,

It doesn’t matter because I’ve had fun.

I’m just very glad this wasn’t a test

This sonnet belongs inside of a hearse!
