Hong Kong is
seven thousand
sugar sweet monkeys
on a hot,
sunny daySwinging from
palm tree
to lime tree
chatting shrilly…
bumping into each otherSMASH

Los Angeles in Sonnet

During my last quarter at UCLA, I took English 95A: Introduction to Poetry. I had professor Stephen Dickey, who was an amazing lecturer and linguist. He told stories that made the poetry relevant, and kept each lecture entertaining enough to engage a film student and lover of prose like myself. I enjoyed that class a lot.
One of our midterm assignments was to write a poem in sonnet form. There are several sonnet forms (English/Shakespearian, Italian, Occitan…) and we were instructed to choose one and follow it’s form in our own writing.
