Of course you know I wrote a sonnet: I find them addictive.

I'm laughing and wondering. Is this a sonnet? If it is, it's my first. If it isn't... Anxious to read all the rest - I can learn. I can.
Sonnet Rocks
Well, it says "sbpoet2", because that's what it said last week. Almost tempts me to add another, just to have a "sbpoet1" --
But here's the sonnet: Ephemeral Sonnet
Sonnet? Haven't done that since before I knew I had an option B-)
It feels good to post a sonnet after so long.

I've never written a sonnet and found I couldn't now, sorry, so I linked to my latest instead.
this was written at 4 a.m. after a sleepless night - forgive me...
Sonnets are difficult but what was interesting was staying with in the structure really forced me to think carefully about the imagery and what I was really trying to say.
Hi everyone,
I didn't write a sonnet but I finally have a new poem up - so I linked to that. Looking forward to reading your posts.
This one is not a response to the prompt; it's just a fun one I want to share:
