This was a fun little quiz, and I think it got it pretty close to the mark… and the alternate form suggested for me, “blank verse,” is also pretty close to the way I see myself.
| I am the sonnet, never quickly thrilled; Not prone to overstated gushing praise Nor yet to seething rants and anger, filled With overstretched opinions to rephrase; But on the other hand, not fond of fools, And thus, not fond of people, on the whole; And holding to the sound and useful rules, Not those that seek unjustified control. I’m balanced, measured, sensible (at least, I think I am, and usually I’m right); And when more ostentatious types have ceased, I’m still around, and doing, still, alright. In short, I’m calm and rational and stable – Or, well, I am, as much as I am able. |

Thanks for this robin! I read the ones that were up already, and you have some real talent there! I hope you get lot of “traffic” on the site so these budding authors get the recognition they deserve.
