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.
Empty Cubicle
What was once full of life is now vacant and gone.
The world has seemed to turn a dull useless grey,
Hopefully someone will notice me some day.
You have left me behind and love has withdrawn,
It hurt my heart that you could easily move on.
Off you go flying farther and farther away,
As I work you need know I think about you every day.
If they find a decent replacement, it will be a phenomenon.
Down comes the rain on us it will fall,
Since you are away we struggle to survive.
Chasing after you crashed us into a wall,
Jump off a bridge and I will dive.
If you need anything just call,
Maybe this will help us all thrive?
(I think not.)
