My own love poem using the Shakespearean sonnet rhyme scheme


Using the Shakespearean sonnet format (rhyme scheme): 3 Quatrines 1 rhyming couplet 10 syllables per line) ABAB CDCD EFEF GG write a love sonnet.


When I look into his wonderful eyes,
Then I feel as though I would sink inside,
Everything else immediately dies,
I already see myself as a bride.

Anything I was thinking of is not,
Of any importance any more,
A big great love fever, that’s what I’ve got,
But suddenly my heart starts to feel sore.

I realize he’s absolutely not mine,
Inside me then grows a quiet pain,
I will forget with a bit of good wine,
Although I  know that from my eyes will rain.

Now you have read the sonnet above,
You surely know I’m talking of love…
