Subverted Sonnet
Poetry Contest
Write a sonnet on a subject you'd never expect to find in a sonnet. Can be funny, scary, silly or just totally, balls-to-the-wall, loopier than a slinky on a rollercoaster insane.
Must be a properly formatted 'classic' or heroic sonnet - I want iambic pentameter, an abab rhyme structure in the quatrains and a rhyming couplet, and either three or four quatrains. Kudos if you also incorporate a turn.
MUST not have a predictable subject (eg romance or nature) unless there's an unexpected twist!
No other theme restrictions. Bad language, sex and violence are all fine.
