 make out sonnet by F. Douglas Brown

absolutely beautiful poem.

both the lover and the linguist in me are fascinated with this.

the lover obviously because look at it, so much love

the linguist obviously because…. the word choices? “desire like the dishes” the chocolates the sweet honey …the RHYME SCHEME?? have never before read a poem that read so much like unrhymed free verse before I actually went through line by line to find a straight-up ABAB rhyme scheme what the fucking hell this is brilliant
