An Bands/Artists/Bassits Sonnet

Sign in to disble this ad
I have to write a sonnet for my language arts class about someone/something that I hate/despise.

we are supposed to base it off of Shakespeare's 18th sonnet. you know the one that starts out
"Shall I compare thee to a summers day"
except we are supposed to do
"Shall I compare thee to a winters day"(this has to be the 1st line of the sonnet
and use winter imagery to describe how much i hate this person/thing

so i figured im going to do it with you guys,

only you get to make the sonnet also, so basically each person will post 1 line of the sonnet, there is a total of 14 lines so the 1st fourteen will be made into a sonnet,

so just bash bassists/artists/bans that you hate

just so you know the rhyme scheme is


a
b
a
b
c
d
c
d
e
f
e
f
g
g

and use winter imagery

tl;dr = make a sonnet about how much you hate some bassists/bands/artists using winter imagery

and no Iambic Pentameter is not necessary

this aught to be fun!

That seems like way to much work for me. So much so that not only am I not going to do it. I'm going to tell you I'm not going to do it.

Why?

I don't think you're teacher will like a Hate Sonnet about bands he/she probably hasn't heard of.

No Iambic Penameter - no sonnet. Here's a start.

Shall I compare thee to a winter's day?
My Jazz Bass rides in underheated truck
My gig it looms a hundred miles away
And in its pickup bed She lies - good luck!
As truss rod groans and finish weather-checks
And plastic hard shell case grows brittle cold
I traverse ice-clogged streets avoiding wrecks
And pray like Ox I die ere I grow old.
