Sonnet to Sonnets

Sonnet 1753

Sonnets are way too difficult to write.
There are by far just too many guidelines.
They should be illegal like a chicken fight.
If Iambic Pentameter aligns
Correctly with the predetermined rhyme,
Then what you have is a true piece of art.
But what this art really takes is time.
What this requires is a poet at heart.
This sonnet is really quite terrible.
As is so clear, I am not a writer.
My sonnets are simply not bearable.
I'll set this on fire with a lighter.
    If this was a contest, I would not have won. 
    This sonnet has no one at all outdone.
