My Perty Sonnets



I wrote these for a Shakespeare class that I thought would be fun to take, but as it turned out was not so fun, mostly because the teacher had the "I will deduct points at every possible turn! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" mentality. But I thought these were pretty amusing, so I thought I'd share.


This one is a sonnet of unrequited lurve...sigh...okay, not really. It is kind of my ode to a book character that I adore, but hey, I guess that is kind of unrequited love...in a way...because he doesn't really exist...and even if he did, he would be dead by now...pretty sad, now that I actually think about it...yeah. :D So this is my sonnet to Peaceable Sherwood from The Sherwood Ring, one of my all time favorite books, and you should all go out right now and get it and read it. (keep in mind this was ment to be silly!)


PEACEABLE

Your clever words they make me want to swoon,

each turn arriving at some cunning plan.

With a face that is the pale white moon,

and eyes that droop-oh what a sexy man!

You fight for what your people think is right,

your country's flag you proudly will unfurl.

But for love you will go onto the night,

to woo her-oh, what a lucky girl!

The snow that dances in the wind,

brings you to the place you long to go,

And your peers would think that you had sinned,

if they knew what you found there in the snow.

But alas, your coolness is not here!

You're confined in pages, and are not near!



A lament for a forgotten notebook. Don't really know what Shakespeare theme this fits. Heart break I would guess. HAH!!! I have personified the notebook! Poor little notebook... :( This one is serious, and is actually the closest thing to poetry I have ever gotten. A little melodramatic, but what the heck.

Left for dead, these pages wilt and weep,

with forgotten memories left alone.

These thoughts that were meant to always keep,

but are lost, and so they cry and moan.

Metal twisted, paper crisp and clean,

where neglect has left them quite unused.

Once where ideas and thoughts were seen,

and fancies, sadness, laughter were amused.

Broken trees went onto making this,

their sap ran over, bleeding from the wound.

And now, such waste, a momentary bliss,

this tired, old used thing that is now doomed.

Once is was so shiny and so new,

now lies in tatters, the cover a slightly faded blue.



If you do not take me back right now, I will have to go and kill your cow
