Sonnet Central (SC)
As the title implies, this forum is all about the Sonnet. There will be instruction threads, discussions, and the ability for members to post their own sonnets for critique. If you post your own sonnet here but do NOT want critique, indicate that somehow at the top of the sonnet. (Moderator: Normpo)
