Monday, November 2, 2009 - My un-named sonnet I wrote for English
Certain people have been asking me for writings done in my English class - and while I feel as though you would be bored stiff by my essays, we're into poetry now, and I wrote a Shakespearian sonnet. This sonnet has no name, because I am not good with coming up with names.
The Sonnet
Help me to understand why
One can make promises they do not intend to keep?
And although you want to believe his sigh
He’ll push you ‘till you have to weep.
A broken vase, shattered on the ground
Glass and flowers mingling on the floor
Splashes of color and glitter abound
While reality slams us right into the door.
And, if the flowers are gathered up,
Will they still live and shine anew?
No, one may die while in the cup
Though drenched with heavy dew.
While he says “I’m sorry”
My face is turned away.
disclaimer: I never said it was a great sonnet...
oooh, and also (to show off that yes, I actually have learned something in English class) the form of a Shakespearian sonnet is:
a - introducing the topic
b
a
b
c - introducing the metaphor
d
c
d
e - building onto the metaphor
f
e
f
g - closing
g

not great but a very good start - it tells a story and could be titled "Broken Heart"
Keep up the good work
