for some the sonnet's like a perfect egg  
three minutes, after that it's overdone.  
and others struggle mightily and beg  
for muse and inspiration, for just one.

for some the sonnet's much more like an omelet  
ingredients to cater to the taste  
add ample salt and pepper, throw in Hamlet,  
It'd be a shame to let him go to waste

for some the sonnet's holy and pristine  
a pedestal fit only for a giant  
its subjects for the Met or the Sistine  
its authors those the devil made a client

I meditate at length and dwell upon it  
for me, there's nothing better than a sonnet
