The Funom's Sonnet is a new style of sonnet of my own creation. After trying the Occitan sonnet as a new challenge with a good score from critics, I have decided to go an extra mile in composing sonnets.

The Funom's Sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line made up of 7/8 syllabic word count. The rhyme pattern is in this form


a-b-a-b,a-b-a-b,c-c-c,d-d-d.


The major unique feature of this new kind of sonnet is its words. Apart from the rhyming words, all other words in this poem should consist of not more than three letters. For instance, one of the lines is


"Two on one can by far get much"

Asides the last word which is a rhyming word in this particular line, all others are three letters words or less. Ability to do all these make up the Funom's Sonnet.

You can also try it but for the main time, enjoy this

To all, one is the chemistry in one tag, in a big pumpkin dog has no say in a poultry cos it is no next-of-kin one big hug, a hot luxury the sun in the sky is akin one to ten, it's a big pastry all in an arc and a skin no tax to get the bad orange as tit for tat is so strange any but one is a bad range so for all, it is not a pile no gun or sub, all is the tile get one eye to leg any Nile.
