Rise of the Sonnet Man

I was created to be creative,
Being blessed with a literary tongue
Meant to be foreign or to be native,
And the source upon which your ears are hung.
I spend days, in both present and past tense,
Finding a different way to use words,
Making them appeal to a certain sense,
Because they were created to be heard.
Whether I make you laugh or make you think,
The common goal is to make you react,
And possessing "the most powerful ink"
Is a statement that was meant to be fact.
       The Sonnet Man was created to thrill,
       By using his pen to showcase his skill.
