Sonnet

Shall I compare thee to a summer rose

Standing beneath the tree you do stand tall.

If you listen to the songs of meadows,

You will not stand tall and will start to fall

You fall so quickly no time to catch thee,

Therefore I cry upon my knees in pain

You are gone and I am here to be free.

So now you are gone and I will cry in vain

In between the darkness of the gray veil

I see the gone and I see you weeping.

You are standing alone looking all frail

My tears are falling, silently creeping

I stand upon that hill that we loved lots

With a flower called forget-me-not.



this was my english assignment from last semester for my high school english teacher.  I made an A.

The teacher read all of the class sonnets. Mine got second place! And my best friend who I sat next to got first place. Which is kinda a good thing considering the prize was a box of chocolate that contained peanuts and the like, which I am allergic too.
