On Rhyming Sonnets Poem by Francis Duggan

Simple rhyming sonnets are easy to write
And easy to memorize, read and recite
But the literary experts as doggerel such stuff classify
And to voice their opinions such people do never seem shy
But since rhyme seems to go well with music and song
I like rhyming sonnets they jingle along
Blank verse may be the in thing when it comes to poetry
But in literature as in all things we do need variety
On literature as in all things it does seem to me
We all have our own preferences would you not agree
If we all thought in the same way how boring we would be
In our difference from others we define our individuality
And with those who love simple rhyming sonnets common ground i do share
Though our sort of people nowadays seem to be rare.
