Pop Sonnets

Songs from all our favorite bands... but in the style of Shakespearean sonnets! (Well, to the best of my ability lol. Despite my username, I do not claim to be a Shakespeare expert).

Last year in school, we had the option to write a sonnet based on a modern-day song (as inspired by poet Erik Didriksen, who essentially pioneered the concept of pop sonnets) for extra credit. So, I wrote two! Figured I'd put them here (I'll likely write more in the future). Obligatory disclaimer: I do not take any credit for the songs that I am basing these sonnets off of.
