I chose the sonnet "On an Acura Integra," a poem someone wrote as a note to the owner of a car they hit. This sonnet is indefinable because it doesn't follow any of the regular organizations of the other types of sonnets besides having fourteen lines. It has no rhyme scheme that is easily recognizable and is somewhat random which helps make it sound like a note frantically written by someone that dented someone's fender. The volta of this poem is around line nine when the asks the reader to appreciate the writing as a nice little poem not just a simple note apologizing for a screw-up, a that point the writing changes from poetic to straightforward speaking to the owner of the car. I chose this poem because I drive an Acura Integra so I was immediately interested in finding out what the poem was about. I think that the poem (if used as an actual note on a car) asks the reader to appreciate the note that is being written as more than insurance information but also as a kindness done by the author as an apology for the dented fender.
