Thanks to Thomas Perdue for explaining sonnets to me and challenging me to do one.


Stronger Than Death [My First Sonnet]

How does one describe the beauty of love
In love, words can't adequately describe
Feels like you're walking in the clouds above
You get so high on love's positive vibe.
Being loved back's , the best feeling ever
You are so happy and high all the time
Love doesn't care if you're dumb or clever
But some people view love like it's a crime.
Those who have been hurt really bad before
Dwell on the negative hurts of the past
Around their heart and love they build a wall
They are scared that if they love it won't last
Stronger than death, reaches heaven above
Sturdier than brick and stone is our love.

A possitive message to those hurt by love lost, something we can all share in and appreciate when someone special coms along and loves and respects you as much a you do them, very good!

This is a sweet sonnet, a perfect pentameter!
Yes, love is all this and more; it is powerful and does enrich us with its beauty and depth... It teaches us a lot about life!
How are your studies going on?
We are missing you here on the bay!
Welcome back!
(((Hugs))
Love, Zoya

Individuality
a good piece, nice flow here, there are different kinds of sonnets, a french sonnet usually has twelve syllables per line, a kyrielle sonnet would have eight, continental sonnets use ten then eleven - all that aside though this is a good poem for your first attempt.

You're right that true love reaches to heaven! It's not perfect, but it sure helps you get through all the non-perfect , difficult things in life, Liz!
