A Sonnet of four quatrains with a rhyme scheme of ABAB CDCD EFEF and a rhyming GG couplet, with lines of ten syllables in Iambic pentameter with the emphasis on the second heartbeat.
A Diminishing Thyroid Sonnet
I didn’t eat for health again today
instead I ate a pound of M&Ms
I know there has to be a better way
than caving to my cravings and crazed whims
My thyroid’s gone and left me in the dust
these pills I’m taking frankly don’t absorb
I’m scared to even measure my huge bust
my derriere’s a pair of cratered orbs
no diet can be found to satisfy
and exercising’s too much work for me
a serving size is hard to justify
so obese may just be what I will be
someone please come and turn this barge around
or to the fat farm my big ass is bound

Kim, this is quite a poem. I've seen a few sonnets lately, and really need to give one a try–it's been too long. There certainly are better ways, but M&Ms are a weakness of mine. Okay, candy is a weakness of mine!
