    Kasie, very nice! I loved the way you had this conversation with the dreaded sonnet imploring it to allow you to free verse (my favorite BTW). Using old English added a lot of fun to the write too-well done-

      Thank you, free verse is my favorite as well. I tend to get intimidated by the rules of certain styles. I feel that my best work are the ones I am allowed to to write my own way.

    I am not paying attention to structure or if the rules were well done. I only read for pure pleasure and I like what I read. I like the conversation.

      Thank you, I'm still have much to learn about sonnets. But this one in particular is just to give a little laugh. It's the way I feel when trying to write them, I feel like I'm pleading and battling with them.

    Kasie, You are right these sonnets are a 'battle' you may have clear intentions in your mind, but the form throws you a different way. My most recent one is terrible and no matter how I tweak it won't say it my way. How to fix this? Sometimes it's best to start over. With you're however, it's imperfections suit the theme. It's almost like it's a collaboration, you and a sonnet! Lol

    Well done, keep fighting.

      Thank you, after writing this one and getting my frustraions out, I was able to write another.
