A sonnet is a challenge for the mind
Torturous strain to fit the rhyming verse
Something to praise is very hard to find
Nothing has ever proven for the worse.

The soul is crushed when put up to this task
Murder committed, what a tragic scene.
The frowning face a convoluted mask
It’s not all bad, if you know what I mean.

The lines we spin, a work of quick beauty
The beats on time, with rhythm like a drum
The notes combined in perfect harmony
Da-dum, da-dum, the heart’s well tim-ed thrum

While sonnets may be quite too hard to write,
The sounds they make create a warm, sweet light.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)
