Original Shakespearean Sonnet

    We began this assignment after we finished studying Shakespeare and sonnets, and analyzed some of his own sonnets. Once we had an understanding for what a sonnet was, we got the assignment. We had to write our very own, original unconventional love sonnet, as many of Shakespeare's sonnets were based on unconventional love. The sonnet had to be 14 lines in length, with only ten syllables per line. In addition, the rhyme scheme had to be A,B,A,B,C,D,C,D,E,F,E,F,G,G; basically meaning that line 1 had to rhyme with line 3, line 2 with line 4, line 5 with line 7, line 6 with line 8, line 9 with 11, line 10 with 12, and 13 and 14 had to rhyme.
    Looking back on this assignment, I am very satisfied with the final result, but feel like I could have done better, much better, if I would have chosen a different topic. I acted as a teenager, and did not think it through when I was brainstorming about what I wanted to write my poem about; I simply acted in the heat of the moment. The poem 
is about an old friend that I lost a few years ago, and although it is a topic that is very close to my heart, it definitely was not the best topic to write about. Nonetheless, I am very proud to say that I wrote this poem, and it has a lot of meaning to me. One point of growth in my writing that is clearly visible in this poem is my use of imagery. Earlier in the year, I just wrote a lot to fill up space, but now what I write has meaning, and that has made it much easier to paint a mental image with writing. A potential area of improvement that I could use in this poem is how to make all the lines flow more smoothly.
