Sonnet
I now write a sonnet of words and thought.
The spelling is hard, the rhyming is hard.
It is not going well, not how it ought.
The words will not flow, I feel it is marred.
Let us try again, we'll write and we'll win.
The words we will use, we'll carefully choose.
I am doing things wrong, let's try again.
If we retry, better words we will use.
Is this a sonnet? That I will not bet.
Should I rhyme within the line or stop it.
Are the syllables correct? Am I set?
Is this a good poem, is it a hit?
I think I have given it a good try.
So now I am done. Here's my goodbye.
*Bulletb* They must have 14 lines
*Bulletb* Each line has 10 syllables
*Bulletb* A fixed pattern of rhymes
*Bulletb* They consist of three quatrains and a final couplet
An example:
Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare, 1609
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
