a petrarchaan sonnet
after settling down and you've gone to bed
brave conversations take place we'd avoid
because with you there our sentiments cloyed
around the idea of what you had said
accusations plagued us once we were wed
by false promises our union buoyed
by the seeming rose's thorn were we bled
and after all that effort i'm annoyed
can we do nothing to stem the new tears?
did our hard work mean nothing in the end?
everyone feels hopeless and empty
cancer has spread through us all through the years
did we build nothing on which to depend?
each must wonder did satan pre-empt me?

A Shakespearean Sonnet
all the people in movies never piss
bugs the hell out of me and should do you
it's not that they have camel humps like this
kid's comic book read before i met you
couldn't do it now read that awful shit
doesn't interest me reading of freaks
contains less than an ounce of basic wit
these geek boy fans talk about them for weeks
easy to forget that you were that young
pretend that you always had this much cool
leave your past exploits forever unsung
forget acne-hued days you were a fool
it was a bad joke and you move along
give your dues but you sing another song

A Spenserian Sonnet
arseholes, bastards, the fucking cunts and pricks
blockhead's sung of you once upon a time
assembled against apathy each sticks
clever men with an oscar wilde type rhyme
against capitalism sunk in lime
can we free the world from the passing buck?
their big budgets can buy a lot of time
cash sets you free you just don't give a fuck
can faith and perserverance bring good luck?
power distribution shows injustice
chance may never find the right string to pluck
