A Sport Sonnet
March 19, 2008
Hot weather makes practices exhaust me.
Stressful drills leave teams down and sorrowful.
During rest, we get shade under a tree,
Afterwards we all feel more powerful.
As games start, player's energy released.
The coaches encouraged and reassured.
Score becomes tied and needs to be increased,
Another point is scored and win secured.
Feelings of joy and triumph fill the court.
The other team is sad and defeated.
We celebrate this great, wonderful sport.
If all goes right, it shall be repeated.
Through hard work and dedication the game is won.
This phenomenal sport is very fun.

Umm, it's a pretty good sonnet, but the second to last line is more than 10 syllables.

lol "mondaymonday"! bt yeah, she's right. this peom is really good, and it doesn't feature romance like almost every other sonnet does. Perfect description and rhyme!

Beautiful poem! Keep up the good work! I love sonnets, and I'm glad you used the sonnet format for something other than a love poem (I'm getting sick of reading love poems). This was very relatable and modern. Way to go!

hi wats up
I think that this is a wonderful topic to expand on but as of now, could be improved in terms of detail and depth. What did the goalie look like as he futily struggled to block the last shot? Was the team muddy, bruised, or even bloodied? Describe shouts of triumphs, the rising of triumphant fists into the air. Detail is key and with detail, this poem can be greatly improved. Keep it up and work at it (:

This is not the greatest work. I think you should focus more on the intensity of your topic because it can be so complex and there are so many angles to focus on to really get the readers interested. But for now, obviously practices will exhaust you, that really didnt accomplish much.

This was okay. It was nothing that spectacular, but overall, I guess it was okay. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen sports as my topic. Otherwise, nice vocabulary. If you have time, please check out my poems, The Girl Inside, Remembering Spring, and You Are the Lyrics In Me. Thanks!!!
