GK has a sonnet contest going on,the subject matter is Love. I think it would be really cool if someone from DU could enter and win it. I wanted to post this in GDP but I am not sure how they/me would respond to the L word.Happy April All, It is snowing in foothills north of Seattle, kind-a-weirdhttp://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=6e7db8f26696

1. umm
A good sonnet sounds totally incompatible
with the kind of show PHC is.

It makes me wonder what kind of "sonnet"
would have to be written.

I mean that a good decent sonnet by nature
must be high art.

I'd have problems with the L word, myself. Too much bad luck.

9. PHC has never claimed to be high art, just entertaining.

7. Thanks. So, it looks like they just want a love sonnet
that will appeal to their readers / listeners.

Get busy, people! :)
