Click herea book that's filled with love and sex and puns.
See, there's a ladder, and a corpse, and more.
It's filled with neologisms galore.
The central motif: one broad river runs
all through this silly novel. Several score
of referents and allusions. No gore
that I remember. I forget. I'm dumb,
and not an English major, thank the Lord.
At end, your brain is spacey, very numb.
It's really Modernist, this book, because
it's written by James Joyce, a man who was
a genius, undergraduates are told.
His reputation, perhaps, was what sold
this novel. Maybe. Anyway, It's fun—
I don't want to know how long it took to write this. If it's measured in less than days I'm terribly jealous.
Well done.
Regards, Jack
I've told you already how much I like the inventiveness of this sonnet, the movement of the final couplet to fit the pattern that emulates the novel.
Smart.
I really think you should adopt this style of sonnet as a daily practice and rename it! The SET Set, or something. The SETnet?
Anyway.
Good job. Just saying.
This lovely rendering is evocative ~ English Lit lectures from so long ago.
What?! No triolet even hinting at trying to break out!
In any case, sounds like you had fun writing this;
There's a sense of humor percolating through your words.
