I don't even know if you could consider this a poem. I mean poem is supposed to be emotional and meaningful, but I think mine's just ridiculous! I wonder if it ever makes sense!

Anyway, here's the situation: the teacher made us list the things we saw on the way to school on one side of the paper. On the other side, she made us list childhood memories. She gave us the first line, which said, "I walked outside into a gentle breeze." For ten minutes, we wrote the poem based on our list. [She said it didn't have to rhyme, but I can't help it! ] Then she gave the last line, which said, "Then I found what I was looking for." And for homework, we had to type it up or write it nicely, and make sure that it have: 1 metaphor, 1 simile, 1 alliteration, 1 assonance, and at least 10 lines. [I do not know if I have them all.] Oh yeah, spelling and grammar also counts.

And now the poem:

I walked outside into a gentle breeze,
meeting him under the old mango trees.
People are just starting to rise,
greeting the beautiful sunrise.
It was early morn, but I do not care;
I helped my only true friend to prepare.
I’d rather be half asleep
than be asleep when he leaves.
After five long, meaningful years,
I never thought we’d end in tears.
We were only five,
but we get it alright.
He will be as far away as the sun,
and we’ll never again have so much fun.
He said, “Seeing you away, I am torn into pieces,
but not meeting you, I’m a blank paper with mere creases.”
I wondered and went toward the door,
Then I found what I was looking for.

O, 'di ba?! pinatay ko na po yung essence ng poem!

anyways, gagawa pa po pala ako ng isang sonnet... ewan ko lang kung ano ang ilalagay ko pero ipopost ko yun... kung maganda

at kaya po pala ako umingles ng todo e dahil sa pinost ko po yan sa winglin forum for c/c... just in case...

langya, 'di ko pa rin matatalo yung kaklase ko... "....Yumuko ang tatay ko at napunit ang pantalon niya... Then I found what I was looking for" hay naku!!! hanggang ngayom, hindi ko pa po talaga yun napagsasawaan... mas nakakatawa pa dahil nasa ingles yun, at hindi sya tumatawa kahit na ang buong klase'y hindi na makahinga kakatawa!!! at pagkatapos nyang basahin ang tula, 'di pa rin tumawa!!! sabi nya 'di nya raw yun sinasadya... since nga binigay yung 1st and last line samin ng teacher, e 'di nya nga kasalanan... swerteng bata... wahahahahaha... then I found what I was looking for... waaaaahahahahahahahaha!!!

nga po pala... sana lang nahanap ko na ulit yung insirasyon ko para magsulat muli... salamat sa review ni BlackSnow sa istorya ni SleepiiDreamer... hay naku!!!

o sha, sige po... ako'y tutuloy na... nakow!!! midterms na sa susunod na linggo!!! patay!!!

I don't even know if this will pass for a sonnet... a SHAKESPEAREAN SONNET!!!

Requirements:
rhyme scheme: ababcdcdefefgg [check---I think]
14 lines: 3 quatrains followed by a couplet [check---I hope]
iambic pentameter: 10 syllables per line, unstressed stressed [ch---I dunno]
at least 2 figurative language [check---I wish]
may deal with G or PG [sure!!!]
subject: heartbreak, love, loneliness, love-longing, friendship, companionship [check!!!]
tone... uhh... sad?!

and now, the sonnet:

I simply can't take this any longer!
I have suffered so much for oh so long!
I should've ended this when we were younger,
when the birds still sing their beautiful song.
I should not have agreed to play this game!
Nobody should have had suffered this much.
Everything should have been just the same;
I should not be missing your gentle touch.
Ev'ry night I'm crying on my pillow,
crying out a muddy, twisting river.
Wishing this pain would be gone tomorrow,
I hear the wind's disapproving whisper.
The wind told me,"For ev'ry joy comes pain,
for every loss there will be a gain."

first line? cheesy!!! so is the 2nd line... 10th line? just wanna say I CRIED OUT A RIVER!!! pero... 10 syllables daw eh... the couplet?! doesn't make sense... AT ALL!!! doesn't even connect!!! cwap!!! o welps...

one of my fave poems... the most romantic poem/sonnet/whatever of all time... by Shakespeare himself... I now present....

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his old complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as man can breath, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
