He did one this week, the
#MeyersoneanSonnet
(Or #Quonnet as I think Suzy renamed it!)

I decided to write for #HappyGoose #SomethingEveryday today.
And in my own #Sonnet form too, trying out different placements of that third refrain. #Quonnet #MeyersoneanSonnet #Goose

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues Reflected in the waters of the lake Would cause even the toughest beast to quake As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose With leafy spear tucked beneath its wing, (A stalk of iron hard asparagus) The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues Will serve as all its victims' last warning So should that ever fall into your sight, The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues You ought to run, or else prepare to loose At least a dozen fingers in the fight. The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose.

My first contribution to #PoetsOfDoom #Arsapoetica contains instructions, and an origin story for my own form of Sonnet which I have been working on. Feel free to give it a go yourself

I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? And so, dissected this once perfect form Restructured it, with brand new shape reborn A potent image brought around again. My pen a scalpel, slicing through the ink I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? That rhyme scheme too, it might as well be changed Is nothing sacred? What would Shakespeare think? And so, I take this form and make it mine All sparked by one small niggle in my brain I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains That shift; each stanza, downward by one line? I thought, why should not sonnets have refrains? A potent image brought around again.
