The Nine-Haiku Blank Verse HyperSonnet
I've done the math, and
found that nine haikus will
fit
on the sonnet's plate.
Nine seventeens are
one hundred fifty-three--That's
one beat shy of,
say,
if you take fourteen
iambic lines with
the ends
all feminine-ized.
Think in numbers,
and
sacrifice the sense of what
it is you've
just said.
Worthy notions make,
sometimes, the foulest
results,
so why continue?
Why continue
on,
thinking you've invented some
new form if
it sucks?
but then you're almost
at the end of
the puzzle
and it's just a draft
for William
and Dirk
to convolute their verses
into
new shapes with.
Rules are rules are rules
are rules.
Haiku is not the
place to fuck with forms.
