· A new cousin to some of my old sonnets ·
I scribbled this sonnet a while ago, but held onto it because it seemed too… morbid, at the time. That being said, my first 154 contained several that were similarly morose, so thematically it fits reasonably well. Perhaps in with the low 70s as they’re numbered.
If this sort of musing doesn’t matter to you, wait a few decades. It will.

• 2022: Sonnet 157: Not Household Words. Many of the new words I introduced in my work are still used every day. I thought I’d write a sonnet with some of the ones that aren’t.
• 2019: Sonnets Day. 410 years after the registration of the quarto SHAKE-SPEARES SONNETS, I write briefly about them, and offer a friend’s useful definition.
• 2016: Sonnet 73 and Limerick 5: Once In A While I Get Serious, Sort Of. Not all limericks are silly. My somber sonnet about ageing and death is rewritten as an equally somber 3-stanza limerick.
