Sonnet

IRawrSkittles · January 2008

I wrote a sonnet for school, my English teacher loved it, what do ya'll think: Two young lovers, far apart in distance, A Falling deeper in love with each other, B They are far away, but words are not tense, A Their hearts are close, but bodies are farther. B But even though they live miles apart, C Their love is as strong as a tiger's roar, D Not joined physically, just in their hearts, C The more they are doubted, the more they soar. D They wait for each other, day after day, E Until they are together, joined at last, F Problems arise, but together they stay, E They just look forward, never to their past. F The world is still fighting, even when they run, G But their hearts are where, two worlds, become one G Ok, for those of you who don't know what a sonnet is: A sonnet is a 14 lined poem. Each line has 10 syllables (don't remember the technical term for it) But every other line rhymes, except the last two. You have to have 3 quadraines (paragraph with 4 lines) and 1 couplet (1 paragraph with 2 lines) The first quadraine tells the problem, the second is more detail, the third is the conclusion, and the couplet is the ending statement. xD I have marked the lines that rhyme with each other (A goes with A, B goes with B, etc etc) [Not sure where this went-just critque or whatever, but only critique if you can give suggestions] And yes, this is about something true..

Reminds me of a long haiku. Only they don't need to rhyme.

My teacher said Sonnets are one of the hardest things to write..i wrote mine in 5-10 minutes..and that's even copying it twice

*claps* that's wonderful! we're starting poetry in my English class. I think I'm the only one in there who actually likes to write poetry

So far we've just done haikus and lymricks.

I've had some of my poems published in newspapers, and won awards xD
