I would love to join in....but I just writing what I loosely call poetry. Any subject is fine...but I would have no idea what a sonnet is, nor do I care what a sonnet is <snip> I just liked the idea of sharing what I pretend passes for poetry...
Fair enough, you could always put it on the urban writing thread, or poem of the day, or start another thread.
FWIW a sonnet is a poem of an expressive thought or idea made up of 14 lines, each being 10 syllables long. Its rhymes are arranged according to one of the schemes – Italian, where eight lines called an octave consisting of two quatrains which normally open the poem as the question are followed by six lines called a sestet that are the answer, or the more common English which is three quatrains followed by a rhyming couplet.

OTOH modern sonnets do not follow a specific pattern or rhyme scheme. They have the look and feel of free form poetry, but sonnets do have certain characteristics that classify them in that category. A sonnet is a way to express a narrative in a lyrical fashion. It is important that sonnets demonstrate a story-like progression. But while they tell their story, sonnets are lyrical and musical, brief and memorable.
