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


"Pop is the web of her fame"

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.

Two on one can by far get much a bed, mat and fur in a weave bus for a Jew and a Dutch pin, a way to fit the sleeve one on one, not out of touch sis and bro no one is to leave sin or no sin, one is the church a bag of tea for all to heave one for all is a big scheme all for one, an ice on the theme one gun on a zoo not supreme to hit all on one accord try to rip a wet fat cord a big fee is the bad record
