My goodness me! It seems that we have a closet poet here! A nicely formed sonnet, with a subtle shift in the third stanza from the horrific to the sublime, and a closing couplet of smelly socks. Bizarre enough to be in with a chance of winning the contest.

Your sonnet reminded me of the story: "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" as there was a new land behind the closet full of animals in winter. A fun post and I have a suggestion for this line for the sake of metre:

"but Joe and Johnson both require some air."

Well, it is certainly an unexpected theme for a sonnet! Silly, but vaguely threatening and disturbing as well. Great imagination, and fun poem to read!

Interesting writing. It flows well but I'm not so sure I would be interested in viewing your closet in person. . it all just sounds a bit creepy. . .but each to his own taste. You did a nice job of writing about your closet so I do wish you well in the contest. Best of luck.

    The prompt asked for some un-sonnet-esque subject matter, so ---

Now, sock puppets that require air--that's a scary thought. I don't want to linger in your closet, and I thought mine was bad. A good image to go with the poem. The poem was fun to read. Best wishes.
