I like to write in poetic forms. It helps me channel my thoughts on the subject I want to write about. Typically I choose short forms, like the Haiku. I also particularly like the sonnet.

This is titled "sonnet" but isn't a classical sonnet. It just has 14 lines and is broken up like a sonnet. It's an experimental form, inspired by one of my favorite modern poets- Seamus Heaney.

Sonnet

In the chilly margins of distance
All the fonts I write are quiet.
I pour through angst and patience
As I cycle them like the days.

In solitude
Indulgence
Is twelve sad stories
And their sweet dilemmas' end.

The Sonnet,
Where last time I found true solace;
Where I learned
Love is suspense;

Where the last line is harmonics
Of passion's dissonance.
