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

Day one and the man is late the two see but in a blackout not a bad hi, it's now a date he's new, she can see in and out she got it all, but a shy mate say it, do not dye the mouth red and hot is the air of fate one eat, to be or run far south a new go on a top new tar eat the pie and sip the nectar spy on spy for character who is he may be a rift her cup-use can be a drift but the day may yet be a gift.
