The sonnet sounds are such that all can hear
The velvet rhythms that the words create.
Those bard created words that touch the ear
Oft also reach a heart and resonate.
The fourteen lines created with such care,
And gently rhymed to bring the reader joy,
May oft surprise and catch him unaware,
And if well done could prejudice destroy.
For many feel that rhyme should fade away,
Its usefulness a thing of bygone time.
If Shakespeare were to be alive today,
His sonnets all ignored because they rhyme.
But I for one have chose the rhyming word,
Their out-of-hand rejection is absurd.
