I wonder what's the point of sonnet forms
They're just a set of silly little norms
I'm sure that Shakespeare really didn't care
I sit and write in this or that rhyme scheme
Find some are hard and some just like a dream
I've never tried this oddish one before
I don't think that I'll write it any more
It really isn't one I want to share
With two pentains of couplets and a link
I'm not impressed what will the reader think?
But now I'm past the start must find an end
With alternating rhyme I should do well
I'm pretty sure you're hating this my friend
But leave a comment if you'd like to tell

Thank you for your entry
lol, did you really not like this form of sonnet or was this strickly a fictional exercise in futility lol. Well at either rate you did a splendid job on this one and of course it embodied the prompt nicely.
As I said the form was splendidly done. Your sylable count is again perfect. Sorry for the earlier one lol. Good rhyme scheme and just an all around perfect entry.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

This made me smile. You really know how to speak your mind and the fact that you think the form is futile really fits the prompt. You composed this well and I think you should pen another one.
Love,

You want another sonnet just like this?
When every other line seems quite amiss
I doubt that I shall do it many times
I cannot seem to make the structure flow
Where on Earth does every new bit go?
The Borg may think the structure works quite well
But humans only think it makes a smell
It uses such an awkward set of rhymes
Ah well at least it isn't like free verse
Because at writing that I'm even worse
I do not think that I can make you "WOW"
The one I wrote will have to do for you
But I shall put your challenge in the queue
Although I think I've done enough for now

Quirky. Quintessentially Jeffgreenian. Shakespeare didn't give a damn, which is why his sonnets are so good.

As always you make it look easy. I am not even going there hon for I am still trying to do the basics...
Hello hon, time for Passions home decor.
Sonnets penned by you express so much more,
A gentle teaching by day, love by night.
Written in rhtymn that's greatly serene,
your words overflow with passion and steam.
