Re: Sonnets

(sorry this got deleted or something...awesome) Learning about sonnets was really interesting and how they are evolving, but in some ways they are evolving for the worse. Sonnets that are becoming more straight forward are losing their intriguing quality. I think poetry is full of wonder and questions and when poems lose that, it takes away from how special they are. Instead of a sonnet it just becomes a short essay. An essay tells how to think, but a poem lets you take the lines as you want it. I like poets that are able to break the mold of what poetry is and constantly push the boundaries. Keeping things fresh and exciting keeps people interested in the art form. This gives it even more of an audience to change things.
