Dear Sonneteer
Dear Sonneteer
How do I write a good sonnet?
When I don't consider myself a poet
Cuz I'm not skilled in juggling words that rhymes
Or think out tunes that perfectly chimes
I've heard that its not hard afterall,
That I just have to have the gall
To thread on its fourteen lines
Scheming my feelings through its pines
Well, I know that my pen shall one day rain
And that the river of poetry flows in my vein
Then would my words would roll on Adam's tongue
As a hymn on their lips like a sing-sung
For I know that one day
These words would pay
The true work of my art
Of that phrase that rhymes in my heart
