About the Sonnet

I am writing this poem as a sonnet. Yes, a sonnet but more modern and quiet, in a style that you may or may not like. I’m writing it my way, you may find it difficult to call it a sonnet. With a broken meter and forceful rhyme but like all sonnets it has nothing to bind you to it but the thought that you give it. I still need this sonnet to say a word about the way all sonnets are written. From old masters this form we were given and remains with rhyme the form most preferred. It is poetry that comes from our soul. It is poetry that makes poets whole.
