14 Lines
Every single set of fourteen lines
In an eloquent form of verse enshrines
The message I'd wanted to put across:
That is why I truly love the sonnet --
I'd place the weight of my love upon it;
A structured form, the words, can truly emboss.
A successful sonnet defines
Its themes while following traditonal signs.
I write these lines for Shakespeare's great ear,
Though he's passed on from this sublunar sphere,
Held to the glowing breast of yesteryear --
His excellence is something all should steer
