David Wendl

This is the only known example of the Davidian Sonnet, a form of sonnet dating back to approximately May 2007. The rules are as follows: Like the classic sonnet, it has fourteen lines, though it is divided into seven stanzas, each with two lines. The first two lines each have ten syllables. The next two have seven syllables each. The third two have six syllables each. The fourth two have four syllables each. The fifth two have three syllables each. The sixth two have two syllables each, and the final two have only one syllable each.

Hello

Hello. I suspect you do not know me
That’s okay. Nobody really knows me.

I know you see me, maybe
you’re the only one who does.

It’s not much to go on
but it’s why I like you.

I know you will
never know me

but in my
dreams you do

and that’s
enough

for
me.
The End
