Sonnet: Ick!
I shall not try nor make a false pretense
Upon attempts I know will not make sense
Never have I nor shan't I be the pen
That rhymes or writes in such rhythms of ten
Refuse I do to stay inside this form
I hate this style and loathe to be reformed
Sonnets my hate will target e'er so fast
This here's an axe that I will not see past
Even in school when poems flew out with ease
My skills in writ could not my hate appease
You think this poem may be within rhythm
Tis not my place to say what be fathomed
Know this, my last Iamb of Ic Pentam
From me 'cause you can't change the way I am
