frank: sonnets --by diane seuss

 Nonfiction / poetry

152 pages 

5 Stars

 

I have never cared to have

an affair with the sonnet—

too much form, too much rhyme, 

too much all the same same. 

Are these truly

sonnets? I dunno, but I do 

know I love them. The ones

with humor, the ones so

hard to read I cried, 

forgot to breathe,

the ones that taught me

my life has been easy. It is

time for me to reconsider

and embrace these Seussian sonnets.

 

My apologies to Ms. Suess. Her book is fantastic. Buy it. Read it.
