A Sonnet
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2003 1:53 am
The teacher wants a sonnet; fine, but how?
"With fourteen lines that end in two the same,
and ev'ry line should have a meter." How?
"Just have some fun as if it were a game."
Yeah right; I never know just where to start;
My lines don't rhyme; it won't be done in time.
Again I write with all my might, but smart
I'm not; so here's the best that I could find.
I bet you've never read a poem like mine
Which doesn't make you laugh or cry.
I never wrote to make much sense or rhyme
No matter what I do or write or try.
I'll turn this in and hope it makes the grade
for it's the best of sonnets I have made.
