This poem written by me is based on the novel, by F.Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby."
Sonnet 14 lines
Shall I cover my eyes to hinder sight? Thy appearance brings pleasure to my mind. Thou denotes the impalpable green light Thy beauty is stunning, one of a kind.
In October, when we met each other On that still night, I recall thy warm hand When I had to leave, mind was in smother Likewise, I wanted thee to comprehend.
My love for thee cant ever be broken Years later, when I saw thee once again Thou had married, seeming rather foreign Promise broken, my heart swimming in pain.
As long as I exist, my love wont end Will thou grasp my true love, will our love mend?
As you guys know, poetry has different forms. For this particular poetry, I followed the structure of Sonnet. Just for those of you who do not know what a Sonnet is A sonnet is a controlled form of poetry, consisting of 14 lines arranged into three quatrains and a couplet. The quatrains usually accentuate the idea or the predicament, whereas the couplet acts as a final comment. Also, each line is written in 10 syllables with a rhyming scheme of ababcdcdefefgg.
comments welcome.
