Is this well written sonnet for my English assignment?

Question

The Meaning of Life
The meaning of life is to follow your dreams
To never give up
And have high self esteem
To live to rejoice every single sunup
The meaning of life is to not allow yourself to be pushed around
To live your own life for yourself and not for anyone else
To live as if you are free and not homebound
To hear the music of the bells
The meaning of life is to savor every moment
And regret nothing you do
To make every moment brilliant
To live with much virtue
So live your life with joy and laughter
And never expect one single person to have every single answer.

Answer 1

Very good. One thing, that struck me, and I am sure this is a stylistic choice, is the beginning of almost every line with "To." It's a little redundant. However, I wouldn't change anything and be proud of your work.

Good job, there needs to be more poetry like this instead of the usual pretentious garbage.

Answer 2

I don't know what your assignment was. However, I will point out that sonnets in English are usually written in iambic pentameter. You have not used any sort of consistent meter. Also, are you aware you used the phrase "to live" at the start of four lines, and the word "to" at the start of seven lines? You started three other lines with the word "the." This makes your poem look unplanned and repetetive. I don't know if this will satisfy your teacher, but this poem reads like a very early draft.

Answer 3

I have no idea whether your sonnet is for your English assignment or not, only you would know. As to if it's well written, I like the positive theme but that's all I can say.
