Assignment 4: My Sonnet

The other day, I flew across the way.
Whenever I felt scared I stopped along the way.
One day, I saw it with my own eyes!
She was something different in her own way.
I was stunned, shy wondering what to say
I wanted to speak before she walked away.
Taking a deep breath, I walked her way
Still pondering what I should say to her,
My eyes never left her, as I walked the line.
She was more beautiful than before, what for?
She looked at me, before I could see.
She spoke to me, looked at me, then smiled.
My fear went away, we could have talked all day.
Unfortunately, we had to go our own way.


This was written by an unknown author or a author who was too embarrassed by his work to be named. The poem starts off a little weird. The author rhymes way and day. Then it looks like he wrote down the first thing that came to mind. Then he completely changes topics in the poem about some girl he just saw for the first time. The main character is so taken back by the beauty of this girl he does not know what to do. Most of the poem is about the main character building up the courage just to talk to her. The uses simple rhymes like day, say, and way. Then in the end of the poem the main character finally walks up to the beautiful girl and starts talking to her. It ends with them going their separate ways.
