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.

A bid to win a purpose one so far in the air, not slick how to leg the sea can oppose and fun , run so far to flick the aim, why try to dispose the ice top we not yet lick to be a pro, cut the pose rip all odd and tap the click bra on an ass can fax a rant the yes way, no one can grant do not say bye as a migrant aim a god to lay the bed but see a lad who is to wed so cut the woe and go for red.
