A Short Sonnet comical poem 590 by Angela Lansbury

 


I write a poem every day

Hundreds of poems in a year

More thoughts, the verses race away

More pages, more to print - and pay!


Good speakers don't go over times

They plan their speech and watch the clock

Poets can't keep on adding rhymes

Fit each verse inside a text box

William Shakespeare, whose works include Shakespearean sonnets.


How can I make my poem fit?

Like Shakespeare's, neatly on a page?

A sonnet! For five minutes sit

And make that pattern my thought's stage


Three verses, a final couplet

Simple, anyone can do it.
