Can anyone please write me an example of a sonnet? Please something you wrote yourself because I've had enough of Shakespeare! LOL
You can also just write me an idea of what i can write my sonnet about. . .
it should have 3 quatrains (each quatrain has 4 lines)
In each quatrain, lines 1 + 3 rhyme with one ending word, and
lines 2 + 4 rhyme with a different ending word. (ababcdcdefefgg rhyme schem)
Also, each line has to have 10 syllables. . .
If you can help me. . . that would be GREAT!
^_^ thanks SO MUCH

Also, sonnets follow an unstressed/stressed syllable, as in the word deLAY

I'm not asking for you to write my poem for me, just to give me ideas.

it has to be rhyming, metered, and syllabic. it's so hard! i know i sound whiny, but, yeah.

the teacher told me to compose a verse
in the method of the famous bard.
to me it seems there could be nothing worse
tho' shakespeare did not seem to find it hard.
i sought some help from yahoo, on the 'net
hoping that a strager might help out,
but no-one on the web, i found, would get
what cheating on your homework's all about.
they told me to just do it on my own
and criticized my lazy attitude.
i suddenly felt helpless and alone,
not expecting yahoo users to be rude.
so in the end a sonnet i did write,
although, indeed, it's not a pretty sight.

You have the details down - now open up a site like Rhyme Zone and start working. Nobody is here to do your homework - just to offer advice and assistance. And rethink your statement about having enough Shakespeare. I am sure you have barely scratched the surface of one of history's finest authors. C.

I do Japanese which is syllabic, not English, which is metered. Yes, they are different things. If your prof has you doing syllabic, lucky you. We had to do metered.
First of all, pull out your rhyming dictionary, or go to http://www.rhymer.com . It will help you.

form is one thing, but have a story first.
also, if you're concerned with rhymes, do it alphabetically, like, at, bat, cat, fat, gnat etc.
good luck.
