I love sonnets! The form is perennially engaing, long enough for complexity but short enough to memorize. I expect to be sharing a few newly minted ones this April. And I am looking forward to reading all the entries for the Maria W. Faust Sonnet Contest. If you have any newly minted sonnets now–or come to have any before June 1–why not submit one or more to this wonderful contest. (Check out previous winning entries at the contest website.)

Happy writing! Happy spring!
