thousand sonnets

Author's Notes

Iambic quatrameter, lead in with the same sentence for each quatrain, kept it simple cause things like this are sometimes best kept simple.

Sonnet 20

If I could make a drink of you,
It would definitely be sweet,
Pinches of spice to add some heat,
A bubbling tasty dream come true.
If I could make a cake of you,
I’d use the finest chocolates
And frosting set in pirouettes
To set the most decadent view.
If I could make a gift of you,
It’d be small, quirky, charming, quaint,
To match the dainty world you paint
When I’m around your splendid hue.
And I expect nothing in turn,
Just smile to set my soul a churn.

- Huy Hong

Inspiration

"Like waffles in the morning, you bring me joy" - Johnta Austin. That song lyric has nothing to do with this sonnet but it has the same sentiment; its just a blank blurt about someone that doesn't need anymore substance that that particular instance it was blurted in. And what that instance was I'm not too sure but this came out in smooth blurts. And "blurt" is such an ugly, winsome word.
