Sometimes during school I go out and fly I leap off tall buildings and high grown trees I unfold my wings I soar through the sky I glide over mountains and deep blue seas Sometimes from the air I watch people below Some of them see me and utter weak sounds I smile at them and wave a nice hello And laugh at their antics as they faint to the ground The I role on my bakc and ride through the clouds Take in a deep breath and inhale sweet air Nod greetings to the sun, so bright and so proud The wind whisting sweet melodies to my ear Sometimes during classes I take to the sky Stretch out my wings and kiss mortals goodbye
Reason for writing:
This was a school assignment. Specifically, the instructions were to write an original sonnet following the exact rhyming scheme and syllables of one of shakespeare's works. yay. Anyways, this is how it came out. abab cdcd efef gg. Well anyways the rhyming bugs me, but if you read it following iambic pentameter (sp?) it's not so bad.
