Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.
(U, I) is the Origin
Our paths crossed just like x and y do,
But have you heard about parallel lines being foes?
Our intersection is just way overdue,
’Cause I’ve been waiting before they lined up my beaus.
We say one plus one is equal to six,
But they’re fast to interject that it does not sum up,
Why? ’Cause they say our formulas don’t mix!
But I can’t stop my line towards U to extend and develop.
They want a union of I and X,
Where X is someone with a trend that’s positive,
Frankly, he looks like my ex…
Hell no! I plus X will turn the trend to zero or negative!
So let’s change the arranged (0,0)
To our own point as the center of our flow.
