Starting Up Again (Shakespearean Sonnet)

by Danielle   Aug 1, 2004


Trapped underground beneath the sand and wood
An emotion captivated from time
Hard as rock inside, colder than it should
It might as well be etched in that chilled crime
Stolen and not worthy, yet frozen green
From stand-still hearts and yielding remedies
Not for change but for a moment to lean
Assist ones who've closed on those that can see
And ponder about those who are not saved
Nothing's right and they know what it's caused
It's something hidden from the scene it's paved
Created but withheld, a thing has paused
It gets further away from having won
But when it starts, the journey's just begun

    Such a beautiful flow. And I admit the mention of Shakespear stopped my browsing through your numerous pieces.
    Fantastic.

    Danielle, Not all sonnets have to have 10 syllables. But some do. Some require alternative stressed and unstressed syllables too. .... just my 2 cents.

    Yeah you're right....they are pretty packed...i discovered it's kinda hard writing stuff with lines that have to be exactly 10 syllables lol...

    That was a real good poem. So much intense. The words were a bit toughly packed. I had to read over and over to get what it was. You are really talented. Keep up the good work.
