Sonnets, anyone? | #1 | ||
I write sonnets in my spare time, usually before and between my classes. They're fun to do, you can vary the rhyme scheme to set them up, and they're long enough to play around with and not so long I run out of stuff to say. Here's a few.
I walk the streets alone in darkness and In cold. Grim faces twist and scowl at me While rain-slicked bodies push my helpless frame Until at length my body's bent and lame. I know that years ago I was once free. To bind myself in twisting ropes of sand. Yet now these granules have been washed away And unprotected I am shunned by those Who wreath their bodies in a stronger cloak Than that which I can make with my own prose. My empty words I renew every day Ring echolessly in the pitch-black air And I know those who hear them can't much care For hollow words composed of listless smoke. If you'd please stop I would be much obliged! I'll occupy your slightest bit of time By asking you "If love had been so fine that none would tempt themselves with foreign lusts Would trust and faithfulness be deified and count themselves still among endless 'musts', Or would adultery and cheating be the lofty goal of all loves true and pure?" "I think the first mistake you made is your insistence that the world could be free from shameful lusts and decadences, when only dark desires can forge a link of love, at least that's only what I think." And on our walk we once again did go. My suff'ring's only from desire born. And though I know that this is true I cannot cease my struggling for the things That I can only hope will give me new release from endless want. And so I'm torn- to risk an anguished suffering that brings Desire only to a short lived end, Or have desire never more affect And cloud my judgement so I can respect That through my life I will not try to spend My every waking hour in a vain Attempt from loss myself to fully guard And therefore rid myself from suff'ring's pain But oh dear God some times it is so hard. When cold wind pushes me with frosty force Back from its frigid source I feel it tear the warmth from skin and bone and soon my hair Will crack and splinter 'till I wrap my coarse cloak tight around my bent and shiv'ring frame, And from that icy wind I must protect The brightly burning embers of love's flame For if that fire's blown out I can't expect Another girl to ever light my wick With fire even fast as bright as that Which you ahve given me. At any cost I cannot let that orange blow fall flat Or be extinguished by another's trick For when that light is gone I will be lost. Do you write any structured poems? | ||||

I do write structured poems, usually. However, none of them are as long as yours, except for one. X3 Yours is very nice, by the way.
My little child with thine golden eyes, Where, oh, where hast thou gone? I've searched for thee thousands and thousands of times, Yet, here I am, so alone. | ||||

I don't really like structured poems much, but I wrote a couple sonnets for my creative writing class a very semesters ago.
They sucked, so I won't bother to hunt them down to show anyone. xD | ||||

I'll try a sonnet...>__<
Through silent hours, I lay awake, Praying for powers That I can take. Yet the wish-granters all Ignore my request-- And so, here, I fall, Having not passed this test. The wings I so cherished Now turn dark as night, For I have now perished And fallen from light. And, as I look up To the heavens above, I see the celestial Beings I loved. Fallen from grace, I am but an angel Torn, my own face But a mask to be worn. My little child with thine golden eyes, Where, oh, where hast thou gone? I've searched for thee thousands and thousands of times, Yet, here I am, so alone. | ||||
