I do a lot of bending tghe sonnet form out of shape! And that is the most fun too.
For sonnets, I think the actual exact length of 14 lines is the strongest rule, because you get 6 & 8 or 6,4,4 or ... etc, to play with, and it is also so short that the first and last lines are fantastically important, and the middle is a test of how concise one can be!
There's a lot of other puzzle verseforms, but they just drive you crazy. Sonnets are both possible and really useful to a poet; no wonder they are so popular, eh?
thanks. it's one of those things that was important for the viscerality of it, and to some extent, i'm afraid to edit the life out of it. i do plan on doing something with it, just not quite yet
that was something I wrote just for the sake of writing something it seems as if I have lost touch with the drive that lead me here in the first place.
