Locked Up In a Word Prison
This mind locked into a syllable count
Receiving maxim sentence seventeen
Monoku one liner is this amount
Shakespearean Sonnet it’s revealed in
The Acrostic is vertically straight
Like these prison bars that hold these words
Each line doesn’t have to rhyme to create
It would be smart to use lots of new verbs
Someday using Free Verse setting it free
No set rules follow from these prison walls
A party will be singing jubilee
The key to sonnet this my mind recalls
abab, cdcd, efef, gg in memory
Waiting for the Warden to pardon me
Contest: Sonnet
