If you're desperate for a series of poems based on the sonnet, you could always write a sonnet of sonnets.  I've been halfway through one for a month, one of these days I might get back to it... I am not the most patient person.

Basically, you write a sonnet (I'm using the Shakespearean because it has the most rhyme possibilities).  Then you take the first line of the sonnet and write another sonnet.  Then you take the second line of the first sonnet, make it the first line and write another sonnet.  Then you take the third line of the first sonnet, make it the first line and write another sonnet... and so on, until you have 11 sonnets.

Sounds fun?  Sure, and so does pulling pubic hair.
