A wing! a wing! My sonnet for Anklewings!
Username: Easther_Bunni
Title: Almost Summer
Sonnet:
I can’t believe this class is almost done.
It seems like just last week it had started
And soon it will be time for summer fun.
School and I will happily be parted.
Traveling around to distant places
Or possibly to destinations near,
Seeing many old familiar faces
That we have not visited for a year.
There are so many fun activities
To do outside, like swim in the ocean,
Or camp, and roast marshmallows in the breeze.
Just don’t forget to wear suntan lotion.
Summer will be just around the bend
And I wish this summer will never end.

5 star hotel, eh? *o*

Did you want me to just PM apo....or what?

I think we will both be helping to judge all contests (except ones we've entered in?) because there's only two of us...but I don't know. >.>

Title: A Painful Summer Love

Sonnet:

As I lay still beneath the summer sky;
I close my eyes and dream a love so true.
It sears my heart so I begin to cry;
My dream has plunged into the ocean blue.

Shall I dive-in to catch my painful gift?
My skin is sore from the sun held above.
The cool sea beckons me as the waves lift;
What choice do I have but to seek this love.

Step by step I immerse into the sea;
I feel the salt water pull me under.
Wanting to grasp this love once held in me;
Further I go to reach for this wonder.

A love that has made me cry tears before;
I hope and pray still to find it once more.

Title: A Summer Wish
Sonnet:
For just one week I longed to be with him
To hold, to kiss, to only touch my love
To see the sun, the moon, the stars not dim
But glow and shine in heavens up above

Summer would be the season for us two
July the blessed month I waited for
I endured the wait knowing I'd see you
Even though my heart could not bare much more

But just one week before us two would meet
The news I feared to hear was brought to light
With a heavy heart I admit defeat
For I would not see my lover that night

Although my heart may ache from such a blow
The two of us shall meet soon. This I know.

Title: Dream Dance
Sonnet: Post sonnet here


On my brow they swim and swirl,
Leaving clouds across my mind.
Lidded eyes hide twist and twirl,
Round and round and then unwind.

Of this kind a dace is rare,
Reality is but a blur.
Come dance with me, if you dare,
Common sense is just a slur.

Fantasy will take your soul,
Ideas cater to this world,
Clock hands will abruptly toll,
Mind fog spread, the smoke uncurled.

I beg you I’m in love it seems,
Dance with me through swirling dreams.

@ biscuit.. I think its beautiful and the format is correct.. but I was counting the syllables... it doesn't seem like its in iambic pentameter. basically its 10 syllables each line with unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. She gave an example in the first page post. ^^

You did a wonderful job.. I would love for it to be an entry, but I think she is going to count the syllables too since its a requirement. ^^

Ah, I didn't notice there was a syllable count... I wonder if I have the motivation to fix it...


Nah, I'm going back to sleep... ~goes to fill out the form~

I'm not terribly concerned with winning. It'd be nice to, but mostly it's just fun to write. n.n

Title: A Summer's Night at the movies
Sonnet:
With a bang and a thud,
With a boom and a short rout,
Batman's down in the mud,
The Joker's out for the count!
With an eerie creeping creek,
Our heroes now trapped in a pit!
Another mummy comes out for a peek,
For Brendan Fraizer stars in another hit!
I want to believe,
So right around I must turn!
Fans, no more may you grieve,
Mulder and Skully are to you now return!
Everybody's favorite heroes come in the summer,
They come to end the dog days' feelings of "bummer."

Dood. I love sonnets.

Oh gosh...*holds breath*
This is almost as nerve-wracking as reading some of my poems in one of my college classes!
I'm so scared! What if someone makes a comment on how bad the sonnet is?
I mean it is bad. It really sucks. But that's because I wrote it in the equivalent of like 5 hours.

Title: Summer Enchantments
Sonnet: In true love’s fashion do we find this rest,
Entwined in moonlight’s softly glowing light.
The chirping crickets try to do their best,
But cannot match the atmosphere tonight.
Sweet summer songs play softly in the air.
While starlight brightly dances o’er the land,
Through fields of clover twirl the fairies there
And I, in vain, wish they would take my hand.
But if they did, would this enchantment end?
Or would the night’s spell steal me away too
To dance with them as were we just old friends?
Soon now the dawn will come to break anew
And will your eyes lose that familiar gleam
If we wake to find this was but a dream?

Title: To Dream of Puck
Sonnet:
The summer sun is melting through the hills
Appearing red and gold. To my delight
It's graceful rays, within my heart, instills
The mythic fancy of that winged sprite
Called Puck. His knaveish ways of long ago
Remind me of a raucous summer breeze.
Bestir my hair and leave me reft with woe:
He left no peace, the maidens he would tease.
I see no harm in laying down my crown
To sleep beneath the oak tree's lissom boughs,
For Puck has long since left thy modern towne
To sail on dreams and mystic rev'rie prows.

Poor Puck is now a wish of summer nights,
Below the city sky and starry lights.



I could have used another night to work the kinks out, but I wanted to be sure I got this in on time. :yes:

Edited:
Fixed some of my spelling. :oops:

There are still about 3 more hours for the event, so hopefully he or she replies by then. ^^

The art contest entries are so few, though. @_@
