@smokey Thanks! I've wanted to do this series for a long time, but when I tried it on my Wordpress blog, it just didn't feel right, though I could never put my finger on why; and the couple of times I tried it on Facebook and Twitter, it was like the proverbial square peg in a round hole. Here, though, it feels like just the right fit.

I'm at work on finishing my third book, which will be called This Sentence Is A Metaphor For Bridge. Each of the poems in that book began life as a very traditional sonnet , at least in the formal sense (Shakespearian or Petrarchan). Only one of them survived revision as a complete sonnet, though. I decided to start the series with bits and pieces that I really like from the original sonnets that like but just couldn't figure out how to work into the finished manuscript.
