The Poet Who Writes Sonnets
Rhyming scheme: abba cddc effe gg
Some say that all poets like alcohol,
Without which they can't produce any poems,
And gradually this may be some problems.
Some say no, just some of them, but not all.
I'm a happy bottle, never been blue,
I was born to contain the tasty wine,
When in my prime I looked perfectly fine,
Wine was instilled into me after it's brewed.
But now I am emptied by this poet,
He just flicked his hand and put me aside,
And to the screen he fixes his drunken eyes,
He is trying to write a nice sonnet.
Now his eyes are gleamed with sparkling fire,
Can he write one that feed his readers' desire?
