    A sonnet, in the Petrarchan form, about the love one man has for his pineapple.

    Use of alliteration admired, but not necessary.

    Oh, and to make it slightly less taking the piss-esque, the pineapple can be a metaphor for something else :D
    Instead of a pineapple...use a pomegranate! :pac:

    Or a bell jar to make it a one man one jar Sylvia Plath joke?

    But, nah, I likes pineapples.

    The Bell Jar is getting an exemption, because I respect it too much to lampoon it. :cool:

    The other suggestions stand :D

    If hes doesnt complete it soon I'll have to butcher one of his poems in an 'anti-author' construction of my own.

    I think a ballad about a young person struggling with depression and thoughts of suicide would be good, write it from the point of view of someone looking on and wanting to help, if only the person would ask. I would do it myself but I suck.

    If thats too heavy and Ive got this wrong and its supposed to be funny things, a limerick about dropping a mince pie and standing on it, happened me today :(

    I've written nothing in a year. If I find the inspiration in the future I might come back to this. I just can't see me writing anything in the near future.
