This is the first line of my next sonnet
quickly followed by the second line
the third line has those two stacked upon it
the fourth one, last in the quatrain, is fine
In the fifth line we continue the thought
and with the sixth go on supporting it
by the seventh line the sonnet ought
to let the eighth wrap up the gist of it
But the ninth line begins to contradict
the tenth continues contrary ideas
line eleven nears the end of the script
of line twelve's concluding panaceas
By line thirteen it is finally time
for fourteen to be the sonnet's punchline
I originally had the idea to write a Sonnet a day for a year. I made it to 21 and ran out of creative juices. The 21 that are here are solid sonnets and, when I am inspired, I will write more.
