Nati dixit quid facere sonettos erat facile. Habet ibi una ratio pro illa qua adsubumbrant illa poemata cum limitationis.
Nobody said that making sonnets is easy. There's a reason why poems with limitations are amusing.

[GrinningManiac]

I like how that looks GrinningManiac! caution and alert share a root, right?

Bid. Awi "Bharac", awi "Barrac"
They do. From "to warn", from "to call/shout"

Ea atlainn omh it wrbh "Schlwghfalanach". Ceosibh ea ghe'fabraigh hina.
I like the word "Broadsword". I made it today.

(pronounced 'ʃɫˠu:jvæn̪əx)

@Pronouns: yeah, I know. I just thought it sounded pretty. Sue me.

[GrinningManiac]

GIPIUS: Just read thy Shakèspeare already, boy! –
 And properly to pronoun wilt thou learn.
 With ease thou thereupon canst go employ
 The knowledge that thine effort thee did earn.

 (I hope thou seest the very thing I did:
 My intent was for thee to illustrate
 The diff'rent forms of pronouns as thou bidst
 By bungling with such matters delicate.

 And, friends, forgive me, I did not comply
 Unto the rules that govern o'er this thread
 Whereby in a constructed language I
 Should have compos'd my present say instead;

 To answer with a sonnet was, however,
 A challenge I found worthy to endeavor.)

EDIT: added one foot to l. 12
EDIT: you → thee (l. 6)
EDIT: you bid → thou bidst (l. 7)
EDIT: added one foot to l. 3; grammar → knowledge (l. 4)

Also to be honest I consider my misuse of pronouns completely justified since it provoked such an awesome little sonnet from Jipi
