Eventide Sonnet
What hast thou seen this mottled cloudy night
Pale ghost presiding o're the darkened earth
Whilst cities proud burned lanterns long and bright
Whilst flame tinged dusk to starry skies gave birth
What tidings foul and fortunes fair are writ
Across the hearts of men this inky eve
Do maidens fair beside their windows sit
Lamenting truly love's unravelled sleeve
What empires rose betwixt the paltry years
All through the dance of ages fleeting past
Whilst kings constructed castles lined with tears
Then crumbled swift too ill-construed to last
In truth thou hast near bathed in lunar beams
Each night of man in all its milky dreams
You may not be happy with this sonnet, but I think it's great. You use the English language beautifully, and your poem was a pleasure to read.
i'm glad that i didn't have to do stuff like this in my english class as i would never be able to do it as well as you....or well at all. it amazes me how you can stray from the norm and still produce amazing stuff.
