Ode to The Sonnet King(s)
October 1, 2009
ok…Bare with me…
I wrote some of this in class, not FOR class, just in class…
The premise is simple, I’ve written (am writing) two Sonnets…
One based on Petrarch’s rhyme scheme and one based on Shakespeare…
The topic owes its inspiration to one of my favorite’s from The Beatles
it’d be cool if someone could guess what it is:-)
ok I’m not the greatest writer but I just felt like doing this most of my poems aren’t structured well so this took some participation ha
Sonnet 1-A
Fallen Skin to take my spirit along with it
But only if with age your offer fades
As locks turn gray lonely my tear wades
From your refusal to catch, alone it will sit
No longer will that wound be fresh from the bugs bit
But will all evidence evade from that scar made
Should I see this love loss as a debt that’s been paid
Paid off in tears that lay deep in my stomach’s pit
In the end I will to see
Fallen from grace your youth and all
But I’ll remember the scar forever
Turn grey believe my heart will never
I’ll remember those locks and catch them once they fall
My love won’t suffer because of what is to be

Sonnet 1-B
Destined to grow old and wither away
But I wonder will you keep me company
Old maybe stale my love will stay
But could you say the same to a withered me
Seasons change but my affection stands still
I would hope your feelings the same
Unless as age fades so does your will
I’ll miss that strength that yet has came
Alas your decrepit love that resembles my face
Only reflects on its feeble standing
I’ll accept it with age and take it with grace
Eventually escaping my adoration branding
As soon that eye no more possesses my twinkle
So to will you in my eyes start to wrinkle
