Put a Sonnet on... a Sonnet

How can you put a sonnet upon it?
Does that really mean anything at all?
don't get me wrong-- I like writing sonnets
Even this blog so far has been a ball

But in this context what does upon mean?
am I literally writing on top?
Or maybe I'm just writing in between?
Or could I buy one from the sonnet shop?

Maybe "upon" just tells us the subject?
I've written about so many strange things,
but in this sonnet here the clear object:
determining what my sonnets will bring.

I suppose that it could be said that this
sonnet about sonnets has gone amiss.
