Poetic Traditions Poetry Contest   (E) A Contest for Metrical Rhyming Poetry. #2055137 by Brenpoet

Prompted by "Form of the week: Coronasonnet"  
Verse Form The Coronasonnet  
Dave Schneider at Writing.com tells us how.

"The recipe for this viral concoction follows:"
         1. Written in 14 lines.
         2. The coronasonnet has been infected by 2 lines from another poem(s) and includes them verbatim as part of its 14 lines.
         3. The coronasonnet is asymptomatic for the first 8 lines, but from line 9 onwards, every word is written in all caps.
         e. The coronasonnet ends with social distancing, with more and more space in each line. Lines 12-14 include only one-syllable words.
