Challenge
Change your genre
Write something in a genre you normally avoid or rarely use. Romance, horror, mystery, mild erotica, comedy/humour, factual, sc-fi, fantasy... anything! I've set the word limit to 550 max as I like to read all entries to my challenges, but I have other things to do, too. If possible, add a brief explanation, either in the main body of the piece or in your comments section. I hope you enjoy this challenge.

A Sonnet for Homework
I forgot about homework, yes truly
Then remembered, but forgot once again
I’m surprised how poor mem’ry, it threw me
To a panic, yet I managed to pen
One quatrain while I sang in the shower
A few more lines while I combed through my hair
A couplet while crying in rush hour
And some more rhymes that I plucked from thin air
Should my sonnet be filled with delusions
Or brimming over with loves sad and true
I’m not sure, but I’ll tie up the loose ends
I mean, it’s just homework I’ve got to do
Hey, look, everyone! Ten beats ’til we’re done!
Ten, nine, eight, seven, five, four, three, two, one
