Write a sonnet a day in 2009

Day 4 (since I started on New Year’s Eve) and I’ve managed to generate four sonnets. Still a little sloppy metrically, but I have a feeling that by day 365 I’ll have so internalized the sonnet form that I’ll be incapable of breaking the rules. Or I’ll have decided Shakespeare was just dumb with his constant iambic pentameter nonsense.

Or such is my hope. As such.

They will not always be about what I’m eating or cooking. That would grow very dull, very fast, for all of us. I’m just getting over the flu and slowly returning to real life so that’s all there was at hand, unless you want a sonnet on symptoms. Saving that for when I’m truly ill again.
