lol!! That was 10000% better than anything from the Pigsty

Appreciated - though honestly, Shakespearian Sonnets aren't as hard to write as people make it out to be.

A) Write rough sentences that more or less say what you want to say, including the proper flow of a Sonnet (introduction, development, conclusion)
B) Fix the rhyming end words.
C) Replace, add and/or eliminate words to fix the Iambic Pentameter.

A lot of people try to write them in one pass, and give up in frustration. Model the words as if they were clay, it works better. That Sonnet took about 15 minutes to assemble.
