me thinks a sonnet is very hard to write
putting it on paper doth require skill
one must show the ease of a carefree kite
whence well applying each and every ink spill
there's no room for bad mistakes being made
the formatting should carry the exact tone
as stated by Will who knew of poetic trade
penning many hundreds in iambic cone
one did dare Shakespeare's enduring trail
on attempting his fourteen line layout
oh yes the challenging road did prevail
depicting a time honoured rhyming rout
with couplet concise one shall fly away
leaving a poem of red roses in May
