Insanity, a sonnet
Back on poems that are more about reality than fantasy, so heres the first sonnet I’ve written.
.
To claim sanity is just vanity
In humanity abides insanity
Then why is it seen as being obscene
It is just routine like one big machine
.
I think you shall find I am of sound mind
To madness resigned my thoughts not confined
To the defined box of sanity’s pox
I am the wild fox, mania’s mute vox
.
Discord is the norm of life’s every form
Why should we conform to reason’s reform
Madness is the key to set us all free
We will guarantee this year’s jubilee
.
In insanity abides humanity
It is vanity to claim sanity.
.
Hope you enjoy, please comment.

Thank you for the kind invitation, sadly I must decline your generous offer. Sadly I am not a theme switching writer really, most my poetry follows the same themes so I would find it hard to fit the theme aspect, also I am currently running on a poetic empty so that wont help matters. I may reconsider another time but, for now, I must say thank you but I shall stay reclusive.

You can participate with an old poem, no need to be on the theme. I don’t submit poem related to the theme every week. Anyway … anytime you feel like it, you’re welcome! Thanks for answering my comments!

Thank you for your invite, even if I doubt I shall accept it. Anyone who is kind enough to comment deserves to be at the very least acknoladged by me, so answering is the least I can do.

The funny thing is it wasn’t written as a sonnet, I just realised when I finished it that I could combine couplets together and that in theory it’d fit a sonnet. glad you enjoyed it so much.
