I've reconsidered the whole sonnet crown idea. Given that I'm irresistibly drawn toward turning everything into a narrative, a sonnet crown ain't the best form. So I'm going to take each one of these triads and build a narrative on them, using Byronic ottava rima. It's a more narrative form. And with Byron as my model, I'll be able to get away with outrageous rhymes.
Bob Southey! You're a poet--Poet-laureate,
And representative of all the race;
Although 'tis true that you turn'd out a Tory at
Last--yours has lately been a common case;
So here's the list of words that I've been saddled with by Facebook friends...or I thought they were friends. The first canto of "Don Jack" begins in my next post.
Capital, domino, long
Defenestration, Llama, Trebuchet
foreskin, Chaplain, demagogue
lipstick, ambulance, flour
Lexis, Foreclosure, Gout
Higs, cereal, bedspread
Ready, aim, file
Monkey. Pulchritude. Segway.
pterodactyl, wicker, metadata
Leonardesque, flamen, adumbration
cupid, water, massage
Insects, musk, flag.
Albuminous, Recalcitrant, Plumply
tiddliwinks, tutelage, babble.
Asgaard, flea, traffic
