Notes About The Poem

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.

Executive Scandal

Our tax they win it now rub the law in iniquity buy and sell but can nay say how so an odd act of equity see the tag on a not fed cow try to sue; jab in unity a big axe to get a bow for all to ask the quality the hot tar and wax now felt woe to the sir on dry belt hit and tow the raw app to melt for all to see and reply the bad and the low, all ply top to rat, now out of supply

Interesting that you have come up with your own form of sonnet, Funom. I found this very interesting. My dream is to come up with my own form as well. :)
