Thoughts in iambic pentameter
da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM,
equations weighed.
You're in, you're out
and you're me.
Monosyllabic sighs.
Eyes
flow like sonnets.
da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM
Author notes
Abstract. The meter for the sonnet is iambic pentameter, which follows the da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM da-DUM sound.

this is some definitely potent stuff. the words are somewhat throw-away (although I liked "eyes/flow like sonnets") but the beat is phenomenal. "monosyllabic sighs" is an awesome line regardless, but is even better when taken in with the meter in mind. excellent stuff you've got here.

so cool!!

I was quite an odd way of writing a pome but it was still really well written. I liked the way you describe the sound, repetition and everything. da-DUM da-DUM lol...

Oh my!! I needed this!!
The way a sonnet sounds! Thank you very much, kind poet! I am reacting very favorably to this darling poem, actually, because it is randomly wonderful. And specifically clever.

Very abstract, unusual write, liked the use of the iambic pentameter rhythm used in these lines - interesting entry.
