In my literature class we read a couple sonnets. Then we had to write our own, either by ourselves or with a partner. I actually ended up co-writing one with a friend of mine on another topic. If I can get ahold of it I will post that one too. But it's vacation now and I ended up writing another one. Here's a couple things about a sonnet: it consists of fourteen lines, the first eight are the octet which follows a rhyme scheme of ABBA ABBA generally. The last six lines are called the "sestet". The sestet's rhyme scheme is less predictable I used CDCDEE for the sestet this time.
Run around in circles until the world is spinning
You're not the only one there but that is how it feels
Everyone watches you as you make your deals
But let it fade away and keep on grinning
Keep on going child this is only the beginning
As you turn, they all can see how you're head over heels
The longer you go the more it blurs like a race car's wheels
Keep going though, you're still winning
Even though it all looks fine, you feel sorry
Every thought you think leaves you confused
Wandering through the world with your eyes so starry
Will only leave you alone and abused
And just like this
Everything else fades into the great abyss
