The Daily Sonnet - by The Daily Sonnet

All of my future Sonneting here will be at <a href="http://www.lotsofsonnets.com">lots of sonnets</a> which is a domain blog with a potential for payment if I stop being lazy and write a bit more consistently over here. Some bloggers expressed concern in this blog over my disappearance, which said to me that they were unaware that I had another one. That, and the relative lack of readers for my lots of sonnets blog.

I can't guarantee that there will be a daily sonnet, but there should be lots of them eventually. Maybe some will even be poetic sonnets

In Case Anyone Noticed That I Haven't Posted a Sonnet For a Few Days

October 3rd 2006 00:46

This will probably be the only post that I'm ever going to write here that doesn't contain a sonnet. I'm going to be very busy over the next few weeks looking for an apartment and setting up a site within a site that requires meeting strict deadlines. I might still be able to crank out the occasional sonnet if I had my own domain, but alas I do not and right now it's not quite worth the effort to write these for free.

Hopefully my lack of domain blog is due to Jon being on vacation and not a conviction of the powers that be that there is no way that I can continue writing a sonnet every day. It can be done, although it might be somewhat more accurate to call myself the almost daily sonnet or the more often than weekly sonnet but that doesn't sound too good

Why Is Comfortable Clothing Considered Unprofessional?

September 29th 2006 01:10

I don't have a good answer to that question and I'm not convinced that there is one. I did write a sonnet about that topic, and this is the first time that I'm submitting a sonnet not written the same day as when it was posted. Here it is, lightly edited:

I hate the constant need for formal wear

September 26th 2006 00:00

How I wish this blog had it’s own domain
Although ‘tis nice to have my work displayed
And seen more than chameleons in a glade

Know well that the enemy of your foe
Despite the saying, might not be a friend
Although for the moment he may pretend

Changing Season

September 21st 2006 20:35

Down under they might hear birds start to sing
Look at their water and you'll see more boats
Look in their pools and you might see who floats

I just wrote this, and was watching the WSOP on TV part of the time that I was thinking and typing.

Mets Finally Clinch Division Title

They struggled lots in the city of steel
Pirates robbed them of ballgame after game
Sped out of the gate but lately seemed lame

Bugs

September 18th 2006 01:56

After the rain stopped, the bugs came. I haven't been home much today but I've seen plenty of arthropods that aren't normally in the house. Including two unidentified jumping insects. There is a beetle on my ceiling, but I will let it live as long as at stays out of my bed. And now, a sonnet inspired by these unwelcome visitors:
