Sonnets
By: Aidan, 5th grade
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #1
In the creeping darkness, all alone
Thought of you sustains my surviv’l
through the gate to heavn’s wide arms
all afar from human contact
I beweep my desol’te state.
All alone I fear for my surviv’l
I give in at darkness’s breast
I beweep your forlorn cries,
All alone I cry for my release,
Screaming for my surviv’l,
I lose the sleep I fear the most
All alone, I lose the will to live
I give in at Heavn’s wide gates
You I dread to meet within.
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #2
How can the sun’s bright eyes
Compare to the green of the grass
Growing under the watchful eyes
That lurk behind heavn’s door
The moon’s dimm’ng eyes
Give the earth to a shadow’s smile
Silver over-tak’ng the showr’n
Water-shine
In the dawn of day’s rebirth
The suns yawn’ng head
Peaks at heavn’s shining crown
At the dawn of night’s death
The day ov’r taking
All of our sleep
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #3
In the month of fall’s glim’rn eye
The dying light of summer’s train
Shadows the foot of wintr’s day.
All of spring lies in its shell,
Unaware of wintr’s dark cov’rn,
It sleeps ev’r far on
Wintr’s unrelenting grip
Loosens at springs sharp urging
Sum’r gives on in sudden haste
Long before fall’s killing grip
Spring heaves up its mighty bounty
In summer’s caressing arms
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #4
The stars on sun’s lying bed
Glow’ring at the world
Their fortune misshapen
They weepweep in sorrow
The stars, the stars-
How they glow
Basking in the light
Of their selfish hearts
Condemm’d in pain
To seek the light
That burneth so brightly
In the harts of the timid child
For stars give in, in truest pleas
For the light they denied
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #5
The heart weeps in sorrow
For the lover’s return
Through the depths
Of time
For life itself hath no meaning
In the river of sorrow
At two lover’s parting
For the mind loses its hold
And gives in
To the tears of rage
And the silence of love
Ripped in two
Love forbidden is the sweetest love
No matter the sour tears of failure
Aidan’s attempt at sonnet’s #6
Bird’s morning star
Rising against the silence
Giving the air to song
Resounding
It flits in graceful succession,
Flight taken so freely,
Ground an illusion
Blue sky, never a limitation
Bright
