I decided to write a sonnet for my English class. Honestly, I did it in hopes of getting some extra credit. I mean, who would not want some extra credit? As I was writing it, I was thinking that it was beginning to sound somewhat decent. Hopefully you all think the same.
Summer's Sonnet
I never knew telling you the truth would
Be just as bad as setting off a bomb.
A vanishing of everything that we could
Have been in the dead center of my palm.
The illusion of our love burning in
Flames that demolish what we never had
Makes my own hopes and dreams cease to end in
Very bitter memories- So sad.
But maybe this was serendipity-
A fortunate mistake by my own heart.
No longer will I have false imagery
That would not have worked from the very start.
As the fire continues to burn strong,
My heart begins to write a new song.
**I was comparing telling someone how a girl feels about a guy to a bomb detonating. The shift of the sonnet is in line 9 when I say that it was a good thing for the girl to tell that person how she feels because it never would have worked from the start.**
I know this isn't some jaw dropping, straight up phenomenal sonnet, but I thought this was pretty decent for my first try. I just thought I would share this with you guys. If you don't like it, that is completely cool. All that matters is that I tried! :)
