Sonneteer of Another Era

I'm the sonneteer of another era, Struggling for fame and dreaming of glories... Living free in prosperous America, Where there's hunger for interesting stories. Invite me to share yours as thrills resume; I will give my opinion anytime, But perfect syllables count and strict rhyme scheme Are required for rhythm to happily chime. Petrarch and Shakespeare were the greatest Poets who created remarkable sonnets; Read their works with unquenchable zest: You'll discover they wrote them in the hundreds! Study the unique forms of each sonnet; Model yours on them with true interest!
