A/N: This is just an assignment (due today, Monday, by the way) for my poetry class... I hope it's acceptable and the reading goes over well (I don't do so well reading personal creations in front of a class =S ). Wish me luck!

Sonnet
North winds blow menacingly through the streets,
Throwing fistfuls of snow in the way
Like a pique child wreaking havoc at the feet
Of passersby, who want not to stay
To see the unmarked plains, which make that child gay.
“O, child! O, Freedom! Do not fuss!” I cried,
I am here ready to be carried away
In your wintry and whirling embrace, which plied.
But wait! Let me bid farewell to Love, who lied
About a life of changes he would not make.
Love promised a new life unlike passersby,
But fell in their steps, with my heart to break.
O! Whisk me away from Love’s cruelty
And lavish me in your cold liberty!
