We were writing sonnets in school. The Petrarchan ones didn't go so well. The teacher said that they were usually about love. So, I wrote one about love, and gave my very honest opinion.
I do not wish for raindrops on roses,
Nor do I wish for pure-sugar lyrics
So pointless and blatantly satiric.
I do not want a voice which opposes.
I do not want a ring that proposes.
Why do I not want verses so Pyrrhic?
To not float beyond all stratospheric?
I’d rather face what’s under our noses.
You call it love, but I’ll stick to my words
Of non-fairytales, and soft, nuanced verbs;
Remove from me, all your clichéd feelings!
Not for the lovesick and strung-out lovebirds;
Not for emotion which breaks and perturbs!
Spare me your banal and irksome dealings!
Mr. Glasspell thought I was being 'cryptic' and wrote on my page that my future husband will probably have a difficult time pleasing me. I don't think he liked my sonnet very much, even though I did get 95%. >8D
