A sonnet about sonnets (from the Internet)
Sonnets
The stanza which comes first will introduce
The subject of our musing little rhyme,
And differentiate from Dr. Seuss
The meter, foot and sundries of the time.
The second will the first elaborate,
With other instances of our great theme,
Enough to know for certain what we state
(Though not enough, quite, to create a meme.)
Ah, but the third! The volta! Here, the turn!
Where point of view is twisted to reveal
The little whit of insight, which we learn
Was the whole point of essaying this spiel.
The couplet last, to me, always did seem
Of little point, except to fill the scheme.
