SONNET • Teacher, shall I write a sonnet? Must I? When I’m not so sure of my poetry… Shall I write a poem of fourteen lines? In iambic pentameter –by me? What shall I write about? What can I say? In this sonnet which I must jot down now? My sonnet should be about what today? To write a great sonnet I’m not sure how… Teacher, can I write this sonnet later For I’m not sure of what to write about? The teacher then takes my simple paper And “you already did.” my teacher shouts. ‘Detention’ my teacher says, ‘for lying,’ ‘But thank you,’ she adds, ‘for at least trying.’
