Sonnets Don't Work for Me...

Whilst sitting under a tree
In the dark of a night
After a thinking spree

I regrettably tried to
Write a sonnet
But since I had
A bee in my bonnet
It didn’t quite work out
Much to my dismay
So I began to pout

What troubles you?
So they all did ask,
Seeing my face
Turning blue
As I hissed and fumed
My very state did scare
A rather weary moon

Once more I failed to
See upon the wall
A genius token tale
Of yonder and of yore
Upon a varied vale

But I regret that quickly
I must go as you
Begin to yawn, or I will
Not be back again
Alas that would be scorned

Aww... it was cute... but

Sonnets: 14 lines of rhymed iambic pentameter
1 line consists of 5 iambs
1 iamb equals 2 syllables
And you can add a syllable or two to a line if it's nessesary

I wrote a poem for xanthan gum, which consists of these, if not a sonnet.

I liked this... but the lines were too short to be a sonnet anyway
I think you were attempting one... right? I mean... bee in my bonnet? Yeah, that's a sonnet.

Alas, Boni Bee, I must bid adieu
So after I sleep and after I rest
I shall return tomorrow anew
Don't get your hopes down, just still try your best

quite funny

The second stanza especially flows well, and the 'bee in the bonnet' bit fits the author quite well

Thanks... It wasn't meant to be a sonnet, because it wouldn't work! lol It is just a silly rhyming poem...lol

Nice-very nice. The short and rhythmical lines are fabulous!!
I really liked this: “As I hissed and fumed
My very state did scare
A rather weary moon”
In the line “I regretably tried to” regrettably is spelt without a‘t’.

Thanks Sohini! I fixed that up...

I liked this! I have no clue what a sonnet is, but it was a wonderful poem all the same! I agree with Elizabeth.
By the way, Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(It's Sun. Sep. 17)
