It took me a while to figure out how to write a sonnet. First, I had to look up how a sonnet is written. It appears that it should be fourteen stanzas with iambic pentameter. Iambic is unstressed followed by stressed foots. Pentameter is five foots to a line. So I thought it is a bit like Morse code:
di-Dah, di-Dah, di-Dah, di-Dah, di-Dah,
An A, an A, an A, an A, an A,
dah-Dit, dah-Dit, dah-Dit, dah-Dit, dah-Dit,
An N, an N, an N, an N, an N.
di-Dah, dah-Dit, an AN it is in code,
Sam Morse, a code he sought to write so well,
In recent years the words more freely flowed,
We have computers now with code to spell.
So when you send a poem around the world,
It turns to ones and zeros as it knits
Your message into text that can be hurled,
Without the need to translate dahs and dits.
No longer do we have to learn a code,
To send a message to a far abode.
