Evil of course

I like how you have utilised an (lets face it) ancient genre of writing and yanked it into contemporary times, kind of blasted it at us with such open violence.. I liked that.. most sonnets I read today are written almost as if they are censored, or softened for the reader, even though Shakespeare himself didn't write them that way.. (when read in context to his times)..
Well done, I myself have never attempted it , but I imagine writing in this style could be rather difficult, as it would set certain limitations..
As for the rhyming.. bah, none of my stuff rhymes, never has.. It doesn't have to rhyme to be poetry, poetry is beautiful because it's free and individual..so I've never been able to understand why some people limit the way it should be expressed.
Sometimes, even silence can be poetry
