How do you feel about socks? Do you love them or hate them? What do they look like? What do they feel like on your feet? What do they smell like? Do you wear them for warmth or just for style? What do you imagine a sock's day is like, traveling around inside a pair of shoes, or tucked in a drawer, or tumbling in a washer or dryer? Those are some of the things you might think about to jump-start your writing.

Which socks to wear today? I have to choose.
(A first line. The Shakespearean sonnet demands a ten-syllable line, usually iambic pentameter).
So many, I can hardly count them all
And all of them are whites or ugly blues
That clash against the colors worn in fall.
(A first quatrain. The Shakespearean sonnet consists in three quatrains with abab rhyme scheme, and a rhyming couplet. Usually the first two quatrains supply the setup; the last six lines together supply something like a punch line).
If I should wear my ordinary hose,
White stockings reaching almost to my knees,
To show them off I'd must wear skimpy clothes
And in a wind, my little butt would freeze.
(You see the set up: We have a girl with a problem. The next six lines must solve that problem, or demonstrate that the problem cannot be solved.)
I'll wear the longer skirt; it's much too cold.
And boots to hide the ugly blue plaid socks
I do not seek the reputation: 'bold'
The boys 'round here are worthless stupid jocks.
The show of knee would drive them off their nut
And frisky winds might show them all my butt.
(Not a perfect solution, but I'm only illustrating method. Have fun with the problem, and plagiarize me if you need to. I'm not married to this sonnet.)

large stuff. when I can locate a second in my busy existence i am going to attempt a sonnet - and rigidity my mind to ensure that my iambic pentameters truly are kosher. I surely have at my elbow a e book I personal observed as The Sonnets of William Wordsworth dated MDCCCLXXXIV...in spite of it truly is, and it incorporates an essay entitled 'The historic past of the English Sonnet by Richard Chenevix Trench, D.D. - Archbishop of Dublin, Chancellor of the Order of St. Patrick I shall examine this essay and note if it factors me contained in the right route. Then, as Macarthur stated (or changed into it Arnie Schwarzenegger?) - i'd be decrease back. As consistently your providing is perfection.

Wash not the socks of sonnet's lore,
Nor darn the socks so sweet a' boot
That's wed a simple maiden's foot,
Club that it is, it is still more
It is her fetid footish score
When maiden mocks, the socks ,the limb
One argyle knight with knitted whim
Shall save the maiden lame and sore.
This is the sock sonnet, socks on it sonnet.
The last six lines are up to you. Sock it to me.

If were only to speak about my feet
I'd rather say it's not special thing, just really big
For I just hate when too uncovered is
And luckily there is a tool to hide the form.
A knitted globe made in its disgusting shape
I give up....
Well... It is horrible, at least it is a strat!
Hope It gave you some ideas. Sure U can make it better!
Good Luck!
