Excellent Sonnet for a contest entry A Shortened Limit of Time by DragonSkulls My Favorite Poet writing prompt entry

I sought a hardened challenge for mine quill. Then came to me a prompt to tempt that task. Whilst time restraints dare mock this poet's skill, a muse escapes the confines of his flask.   Refusing one's retreat from such a dare, so valiantly I scribe with purposed stride. With little, waning hope or time to spare, I chase in faith the choices I decide.   But minutes keenly fall in quickened pace. Doth time still jest mine worth in ruse and ploy? Would Shakespeare bow his head at my disgrace and curse the empty aim that I employ?   No masterpiece could flourish time's abyss. Within the hour, mine wasted try was this.     Writing Prompt Compose a poem in the style of your favorite poet, living or deceased. Identify your poet in the Author's notes. Your have the leverage to use more current English, if your poet writes/wrote in the English of his or her time. However, incorporate the general style/format of the poet in your poem. Word count: 100 to 300 words, title and author's notes not included. Author Notes I had less than an hour, from when I first saw this contest, to write a whole sonnet. What can you do? Lol. I'll always claim Shakespeare as my favorite poet.
