Analysis of Is this a Sonnet
Is this a Sonnet? this art have I done?
Shall I talk about our love's gentlest touch?
Graced tender cheek, like a warm summer's sun?
Shit stop, please stop, it's all getting too much.
You're a jewel in the sky, a diamond star,
As enchanting as a winter's white spread,
Needn't be close, I see beauty afar,
Hearing this dribble, I'll go bang my head.
Shall I tell you, analyse my meaning?
Love's idea fit this poem I threw
I see your face, you are stuck daydreaming
With a forlorn heart you'll write this too.
If sonnets are about love, read no more,
Burn this poem, leave ashes on the floor

About this poem
I wrote this poem as a juxtaposition against typical Shakespearean sonnets. I studied a lot of Shakespeare through School and I wanted to add a twist into the formula.
