title: Rage, rage against the poet’s hardest sell
|
||
---
|
||
I feel that I can write a sonnet well.
|
||
While sonnets are an easy thing to spout,
|
||
It’s really hard to write a villanelle.
|
||
|
||
By rhyming, any story I can tell:
|
||
in couplets, rhyme and rhythm evens out.
|
||
I feel that I can write a sonnet well.
|
||
|
||
But alternately-structured verse is hell.
|
||
The poet struggles, juggles words about:
|
||
It’s really hard to write a villanelle.
|
||
|
||
Enthusiasm’s difficult to quell.
|
||
An acolyte of Shakespeare, I’m devout:
|
||
I feel that I can write a sonnet well.
|
||
|
||
But triplets are a task on which I dwell,
|
||
I’m running out of rhymes, without a doubt.
|
||
It’s really hard to write a villanelle.
|
||
|
||
For sonnets, you don’t have to be [Kal-El][1]
|
||
to make a super stanza just work out.
|
||
I feel that I can write a sonnet well;
|
||
It’s really hard to write a villanelle.
