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

Yes, the cry got it to settle now so new, in its own class see one cow to add on a cattle wax the gut for the raw grass to and fro to hit its mettle gun the toe to be as brass the pea is in a hot kettle let it hit and win the glass a new kid on the candle bag of air lag not the kindle low fun via age on the swindle now old, ago, a new basket saw, led and ran the market all now the end in a big casket
