Let's try a sonnet then shall we?
Couplet:
Sitting at the coffee shop, realized
I wrote my sonnet wrong. I fantasized
Quatrain:
Upon this day I try my hand and thus
I write a poem. It has been too long
But this, my pen, or iMac, I do trust.
To convey words, from my fingers, along.
Sonnet:
This semester started off as chaos!
I struggle to regain some solid ground.
I can't find a word that rhymes with chaos,
If you do will you tell me what you found?
And since I have all of your attention,
Does anyone know well how to speed-read?
Tricks that do not lead one to dementia
Karmically, teaching would be a good deed.
So far this sonnet is plotless, okay,
But, we'll just say, no inspiration came.
I'm hungry, tired, and whiney today,
And ready for a nap, a little lame.
So here I go to make dinner and sleep
If you visit, SHHH! Do not make a peep!

My Personal Bible
Probably not very original but, as a bibliophile, my Bible is the dictionary. I can't quote you chapter and verse, unless your question is "propriety," but it's pretty easy to look things up in.

The Hand and I
My only experience with Shakespeare comes from my Intro to Lit class that I took from Nora Smith and reading The Tempest a few semesters back. For my final in Intro to Lit I had to memorize these several lines of Hamlet and recite them from memory.
Make mad the guilty and appal the free,
Confound the ignorant, and amaze indeed
The very faculties of eyes and ears. Yet I,
A dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak,
Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause,
And can say nothing; no, not for a king,
Upon whose property and most dear life
A damn'd defeat was made. Am I a coward?
Who calls me villain? breaks my pate across?
Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face?
Tweaks me by the nose? gives me the lie i' the throat,
As deep as to the lungs? who does me this?
Ha!
'Swounds, I should take it: for it cannot be
But I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall
To make oppression bitter, or ere this
I should have fatted all the region kites
With this slave's offal: bloody, bawdy villain!
Remorseless, treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!
O, vengeance!
Why, what an ass am I!

Pencast
I apologize for only getting the first 40 minutes or so. My pen has been having battery problems. I'll see about budgeting in a new one and hopefully everything will be as it should be by next class.
