The Sonnet Course

03/25/2026

Oy vay, our CEO fired (finally) that drug addled agent and has taken the online marketing of Sonnet Course into her own hands. Will great Margie of the Morning notice Sonnet Course's humble toils? Could it be, she might order a sonnet?

Another arduous meeting with my agent. I don't even know why I pay this guy. He said this one would "do numbers."

At the risk of overwhelming my viewers with the sheer force of another contiguous "wall of text" that is increasingly less like a filigreed garden terrace, perhaps little rickety, in need of a paint job and more and more like a stalinist building or some other perhaps more organic but still monumental structure; maybe a fortress carved from earthen rock rising from a turbulent sea, or maybe even some other yet unconstructed object of magnitude; two Petrarch Pentameters in continuous narrative form.

Sonnet Course has been working hard on smoothening the closing sestet of the Italian sonnets, and believes it's progress from incessant dedication to this task can be seen below.

Thank you :)

Not to continue spoiling my illustrious, endlessly deserving, rather large but superlatively silent audience with such high-octane distillations of poetic artistry for the most favored irreducible price of exactly $0.00, but, simply for the fact that I awoke this morning purely concerned with your enjoyment, I have decided to post another sample, much like a complimentary apertif or perhaps a graceful little duel shampoo-conditioner bottle on the house, a peppermint patty on the pillow so to speak, a little, you know, a little "freebee" to keep everyone happy and moisturized; a double Shakespeare Pentameter in continuous narrative form, perhaps a premonition of a larger work to come, or perhaps not. Please enjoy at your honesty and perhaps, your peril!

Two examples of the famed and fabled Onegin stanza in pentameter, from Sonnet Course's Commission Collection.

I bet using the other sonnet as a guide you can figure out what word the blue blocked-out word rhymes with 😉

Oh my, looks like Polymarket has some competition!

If only... if only I could have sold some memes to a high-frequency algo trader... I coulda been a a a ....I coulda been a....

Oh well... I suppose some skills just aren't transferable to other modes and fields of life... back to the sonnet dungeon with me..

Two Italian style tetrameters

I can never quite figure out the rhyme scheme of the final sestet at the end of the stanza, every time is a little more the same, a little more different :-)
