Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.
Revolution
Did you know, my dear, when you came to me,
That you had started a revolution?
When you spoke, I cried, “Please, just leave me be,”
Unaware of my new Constitution.
Every time you gave me love, I crumbled.
It was like the Moon rose during the day.
And when the Sun set at dawn, I mumbled,
“Hey, an upside-down world might be okay.”
You were an one-man army, proud and strong,
Determined to win, no matter the cost.
And when my world collapsed, in a slow song,
You sang, “I shall matter to you, the most.”
So hurry and come along, my rebel.
Together, we shall bid my world farewell.
