Here's my reply to those who say sonnets are old-fashioned:
It is of course a sonnet:
someone asked why write a sonnet these days/
my reply? His peircing pince-nez/
dear ted, it's 12.33 pm a sonnet is a shape/
for thought/
all I hear is amateurish crap/
quick a lost poem before i go off my rocker/
for lost read last, for last read list/
only six more lines to go/
i'm writing a sequence of sonnets at the moment/
dear ted, are you spinning?/
soq is mostly boredom dressed up in a nice suit/
seems like a combination of all three to me/
the sonnet an ideal, a small explosion/in the box of your ear. dear ted hello
