My shakespearean sonnet.
By SilentDreamer
Alright, this is for school. I need you all to make sure that this is a
good sonnent and it follows the Shakespearean sonnent format. Please let
me know what is wrong. Thank you.
The rhyme scheme is, a-b a-b, b-c b-c, c-d c-d, e-e. Check it please. Ten
syllables for each line. Please check it. Thank you again.
Like clockwork the moon shall fade from our sight,
pulling the vivid light from the night sky,
leaving the cosmos alone for the night.
No need to sidestep just let your feet fly.
Without doubt a flame will flicker away,
embers will burn brightly for a few hours,
dying away leaving a chill to stay.
Do not shiver for your dance empowers.
Beware it will lose its grasp over time,
the path you tread is perilous, my dear.
Do not fail in your last moments of prime,
hold the blade in hand for the end is near.
One wrong step the blade falls across the thread,
your dance has come to an end and life fled.

you had an excellent flow to it. It went smooth. It was a nice timeline also. I think you did an excellent job on it. One thing you did change it up jumping from the first to the second stanza. Is that going to be a problem for your teacher. ][ ][
