A sonnet to the sonnet I conceive  
Our meta world requires nothing less  
Shakespearean, and then I shall receive  
Your accolades and love -- but I digress  
Iambic in pentameter it is  
Can't deviate, each stumble costs a point  
but proper emphasis will bring release  
the critics won't get mad or out of joint  
ababcdcd -- the start  
efefgg is how it ends  
the rhyming scheme must truly play its part  
succeed and you shall gather lots of friends  
and thus the meta sonnet is revealed  
it's form and function now forever sealed
