Following in the same fashion I thought I'd try my hand at a spot of keats for valentines day. A sonnet for his love Fanny Brawne.

I cry mrcy - pity - <3 - I, <3!
Mercifl <3 tht tantalises ntn
1 thoted, nvr-wandring, guileless <3,
Unmaskd, nd Bing seen - without a blot!
O! Let me hve thee whle, - all - all - B mine!
Tht shape, tht fArness, tht swEt minor zest
Ov <3, Ur X, - those hands, lucent, million-pleasured brest, -
Urslf - ur soul - in pity give me all,
Withhold no atomz atom or I dI,
Or lving on prhaps, ur wretchd thrall,
Forget, in the mist of idle mizry,
Life's prpses, - the palate ov mI mind
Losing itz gust, nd mI ambition blind!
