Sonnet: Ain't life a b***h?

Today's daily sonnet and my first on this site. Enjoy!

Sonnet 611 - Wednesday 7 May 2008

Well ain’t life a b***h? Amy arrested!

Amy Winehouse, fine outstanding singer!

I watched a documentary, with some red

Chilean last night. She’s a dead ringer

For Dusty Springfield, but darker; finger

And foot bloody, tattooed with grave excess.

Well, next day she’s banged up in the clink, her

Befuddled stagger and her soiled dress.

She makes a cracking story. What a mess

That crack pipe’s made of her windpipes! She’s fled

From tours, from the James Bond theme tune. Minger

To some, pin-up to others. Caused distress

To dad Mitch, whose black cab’s sadly headed

To North London to bury him or her.

Its really good that u can relate it to real life. The font that u used makes it hard to read though.

This is an interesting sonnet, and is certainly different than most you read. XD I like how it focuses on a modern issue, but sort of symbolizes what is happening with celebrities nowadays. Good job! ^_^

I don't particularly like this sonnet, but I did like your bio and I am willing to bet you have a grip of talent.
I'll be back. You are funny.

Hi Pakino - well I do write rhythmic song lyrics as well which are more like rap, and I'm pleased this comes across as similar to that - but at the end of the day it's a sonnet, albeit in an informal, chatty style. Thanks!!!!!

I dont know much about sonnets. But it sounds more like your trying to rap and create a song. Perhaps I am wrong :P
