I'm no good at writing sonnets but I love reading them. It will be a winner if it meets the criteria and leaves me sighing and feeling like I'm in love ... or at least wishing I were.
Just remember 3 stanzas and a couplet ... abab cdcd efef gg, like so!
Dyslexia - Sonnet CCXXII
I quell amongst the dischord words rely,
Upon the sole revivals am I prone
cross function is a dismay from behind
foundations of a style I'd call my own.
It clearly seeths in others, having heard
myself who, in a nutshell, doth reply
with verse to reimberse you where it dies
against the better judgements they imply.
I urge you, having reconciled too bold
doth duly gives as leaving you appears,
thus compensates with insight having brought
another kind of music to your ears.
Dyslexia, contains with insights sung,
the worship of another mother tongue.
I may ask someone that knows more to co-judge. If you would like to do that just Im me and let me read some of your work.

Are English sonnets allowed?
Your rule states: abab abab abab cc
An English sonnet is: abab cdcd efef gg

As you can see I need help LOL. I guess it should be abab cdcd efef gg ? Just so every other line rhymes
and the couplet each line rhymes. I guess I better edit the contest. I wanted you to help me judge and this is the reason ... butt yes, English sonnets. I will correct the contest.
