Sonnet Saturday

I'm going to start something new and try something called "Sonnet Saturdays." Every Saturday, I will try to post a sonnet I have written about my week. I find poetry to be quite interesting, and writing poems is challenging but enjoyable.


So, I will now post a sonnet I wrote within the past hour. Any guesses to what it's about?

Better Than I Thought (12/10/11)


Three days ago, I had pain deep inside.
Torn into pieces was my aching heart.
Emotions changing like the ocean tide
Is what I had predicted from the start.
Two days ago, I thought I had forgot
What had happened on the previous day.
But the memories surged in as I caught
Sight of her; the sting would not go away.
One day ago, I received breaking news
And, at last, saw the mark in the corner.
My eyes widened. The grade seen did bemuse
Me. I rejoiced, no longer a mourner.
I had done better than I thought I had,
So there was no reason to go quite mad.

I hope you enjoyed that! Be looking forward to next Saturday when I will be posting a new sonnet! Have a great day! Happy holidays!
