Second sonnet :D

Oh, hi there! Seeing as you've stumbled upon this blog, you're probably a fan of poetry. I'm just your average geek (Proud of it) who likes to write poetry and is apparently freaking awesome. If you've read my last post, you probably already know that my disclosed name is Oliver Nolastname.

All in all, my poetry is super freaking awesome. That's quite a bit of awesome so you should go tell your friends about it. Or if you don't have friends, tell your mom. Say hi to her for me. She'll know who you mean. Trust me. Fine, she probably won't know who you mean. But she'll love my poems nonetheless.


And now for my second sonnet...


*Cue drumroll*










Dude, I said cue drumroll, you're gonna have to start drumming.






Alright that's better. Now on with the show!



Classroom Couple
By Oliver Nolastname

What great wrong you do me, my fair lady;
Stealing my attention from where ‘tis due:
For what mortal could ever resist thee?
It was love at first sight, in the classroom…
As you came through the front doors, books in hand.
I prayed you would take the seat next to mine
I wanted more than to just be your friend;
A better woman I would never find.
Whatever can I do to win thine heart,
For thou surely has num’rous admirers;
Being so pretty, kind and also smart.
My love for you is like a blazing fire…
Prepare for trouble and make it double.
You and I; we’ll be a classroom couple…

Okay now for the post mortem for this sonnet. This time I wrote strictly in iambic pentameter, go ahead check if you don't believe me. I still do think it's a bit choppy though. I added in the second last line  because Pokemon is awesome (If you disagree, you have no soul) and I couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with couple. All in all I prefer my first sonnet more though. To help me improve my poetry-writing skills, please comment (Or send a PM, your choice) and spread this blog around!


Alas, it's time to sign off again. These sessions of creativity outlet go by so fast... *sigh*
