fun with iambic pentameter

[godream]

Between my Shakespeare class and the sonnets of doom that an acquaintance of mine was showing around, I came to the realization that I had never written one of those buggers.

So I did. During astronomy and math class today, with the minimum possible effort, but for the morbidly curious...

Without further ado: The Sonnet I Wrote Just To Prove I Could (It Works If You Say Real With Two Syllables)

I never knew how real meter calls
until i heard your rhythm sounding clear
it echoed through these uninspired walls
brought inspiration, desperate passion, tears...

I never understood the song of rhyme
till tenor words broke strongly through the haze
and then i knew that till the end of time
i'd gladly sit with you and waste my days

And metaphor? I'll tell you what of that:
your eyes like emeralds, lips red roses, dear
have made me realize just who and what
like water air and life i do need near

Yet though my passion ever stronger grows...
I fear my inner bard should stick to prose.

LOL. Your inner bard did quite well, thank you. I liked it. Wow, I can't believe you just wrote in iambic pentameter. *bows before your poetry skillz*
