Untraditional and Untitled Urban Sonnet

How would someone write an “urban” sonnet, When the formation of the poem is lame. Some poets will stray away from old bonnets, And some rather keep the good lines the same. Across this sonnet contest, so I came, So here I write as it brings me much shame… This poem is about the struggle I face, As I attempt to write out all these lines. Surely this poems is not full of grace, But my aggravation, oh, how it shines. Even if one is steeped in the same brine, No other prose will compare as a twine. Lines have ten syllables, just as you asked, And each stanza has the correct rhyming. Is not the best but I hope I have passed, And this poem is found in good timing. For my skills, I am molding and priming, For good work I and pushing and climbing. Did not get all, but my ass you got half, Now, I hope this poem has brought a good laugh. ———————————— May 2, 2019 Urban Sonnet Contest Sponser: Emile Pinet Poem Type: Urban Sonnet (10 syllables/line, ABABBB- CDCDDD- EFEFFF- GG)
