I hate writing in pentameter, That nagging old parameter reduces The breadth of expression's diameter. It's a barrier, a boundary, a cage built around me. I'd rather cast off the impediment and Allow my thoughts to sediment freely, Really, I just can't dig it, ya feel me? After a while, it gets so **** repetitive, and I'll bet it did drive Shakespeare nuts When he wrote all his sonnets, back When lords rocked big wigs and their Ladies wore bonnets. That's another thing It's been used and abused for like six ******* Centuries, contemptibly does this old relic Haunt us and daunt us and taunt us Writing's not meant to be a chore, It shouldn't bore and indenture me, but Rather, set me free me and Instead be adventure, see?
Wow. I'm Somehow, Feeling much better now.
I tried writing a sonnet in iambic pentameter again. I made some pretty good progress, but then hit a wall because of the limitations of the form. Maybe it would be better if English wasn't such a rhyme weak language. I don't really hate pentameter, but I had to vent. I'm still gonna try to finish the sonnet.
