A Ha'Sonnet Will Do
I do not lead, merely suggest. Whether you heed is not my quest. Understand, though, I don’t follow. Nor stay away.

23 May 2021 marks five years that ha’sonnets have existed. Not this site, though I’ve been writing them since the day after the form was created in the Rhymezone Forums 😁, but the poetry form. If you want to know more about ha’sonnets, see the “About the Ha’sonnet” page.
You shouldn’t take
my word for it
I could be fake
and full of shit
Though to be fair
I am aware
that you could too

You foolish man! What did you think? Your clever plan bleeds blood red ink! With pride you said you’d beat the spread. Alas, you ass!
