I Hate Sonnets

This sonnet assignment is so painful
I would rather not waste my energy
Too many strict rules, not very gainful
Rhyming these lines will take a century

This sonnet assignment is wasted time
Why can’t this all count for the needed five
Limits creativity, such a crime
If there is another, I won’t survive

This sonnet assignment is a nightmare
An endless dream of complete suffering
One that I can’t wake up from, quite a scare
I’d rather watch a screen that’s buffering

Please, oh please just let this torture end soon
Or I might just fly myself to the moon



Note: The part about the counting towards the needed five is describing my agony for the fact that this poem did not count for the required 5 poems by the end of the unit.
