My stories

Friday Sonnet: Enumeration

How do I love you? Let me count the ways. I love you like a camel loves his humps, Like photos love their image, like bumpcars bumps, Like cowboys cows. I love you just like gays
Cherry

Monday Sonnet: Sanctis

Damn lack of italics. Sanctis is meant to be italicised in the poem.

Thursday Sonnet: Proverb

Whoever reads this first could you please explain to me how I'm supposed to italicize words in this format? Plus: Acknowledgement to Yatzee Croshaw for a joke.

Monday Sonnet: Pebble's Lament

If I’d been born a pebble by the shore, My life would be significantly easier. Were I in love, I wouldn’t try to please her With sonnets; I’d sleep flat; I could ignore

Thursday Sonnet: Canto

Before the tree that is the root of every Story bled an apple from its boughs, The words I speak to you were made of ivory, Unsullied by my tides of Whys and Hows.
