What it is

June 2010: In a desperate attempt to stave off senility, the monkey began writing a poem a day. By summer's end he'd begun to run out of versified political rants and philosophical bloviations. Then he hit on the improbable idea of writing micro fiction in the form of Elizabethan sonnets. Eureka. The birth of the "Sonnets From Other Lives" series. Two hundred plus lives later, he's still at it.

Sonnets From Other Lives: A Circle of Friends

The form a plan.  When Armageddon comes,
Dustin's family has a ranch somewhere--
they'll buy up food & drugs & booze & guns,
& pack it up & move the party there.
It'll be like the Decameron!
(Matt & Luke read it in Med. Lit. class)
Soon enough they've all joined in the fun:
The Master Plan to save their sweet karass.
Su & Larry both can play guitar,
Angela's a carpentry apprentice.
Lonnie cooks & Melody tends bar.
Bummer no one's going to be a dentist.
Mike put Ozzy on: Countdown's Begun,
& thinks this whole end of the world thing sounds like fun.
