Great Regulars: By K. Silem Mohammad

Note: Each of Mohammad's "Sonnagrams," including its title, is an anagram of a standard modern-spelling version of one of Shakespeare's sonnets, containing exactly the same letters in the same distribution as the original. The title is composed last, using whatever letters are left over after assembling a working sonnet in iambic pentameter with an English rhyme scheme.

From 'Sonnet 42: That thou hast her, it is not all my grief.'

from PBS: Newshour: Weekly Poem: 'Sheriff Ed Rebuffed Her ('Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!'), Then He Fell'
