Oh, how I adore assembling sonnets
When one line rhymes and the next fights back
They are worse than a repulsive lady in a bonnet
Or an older man hunched over carrying a sack

And yet I must indulge thee
With these frivolous verses
Working with creativity
Instead of useless nurses

I embarrass myself with these random thoughts
Because I respect sonnets as I do haikus
Simply thinking of them brings my stomach to knots
Summoning vomit to my mouth and puke

Dear sonnets please don’t take offense
But to me, you’ve never made much sense

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
