More Sonnets from Students

I shall compare your love to a pencil,
and always push you into a small stream.
I loathe the day when I use a utensil,
But in spite, I will always be too keen.

As time goes on, I see you turn to led,
But I look past the alien to see,
That you are much more than a loaf of bread.
You will always be that special some one to me.

As you become to hither near the end,
I watch you go with the unyielding tide,
Just for me to discern you will never mend.
Throughout what has happened I know you never lied.

Our love is like a pencil is it not,
All that has happened is just a sincere  thought.

Hockey Sonnet

I awake early to leave for the rink

The only thing I want to do is skate

I dress fast although my pads may stink

As a lad I remember on a crate

With balance by my side I learn to pass

Only a few minutes left, try to talk

I skate my heart out and run out of gas

Peavy, keep you head up, look at the clock

Ten seconds left we have to take the shot

Try to keep in mind we are all winners

Men need water they’re getting kind of hot

Not a huge deal we’re only beginners

            But let’s recall its all deep in the heart

            Love for the game remains till we depart

I despise the call of the crow of black.

It perches in its lone dark tree, alone.

It leaps up and forward, speed for attack.

I sprint and run away in search of a phone.

I run and I run but to no avail.

The big black crow is right above me now.

Yet lucky for me, I know how to sail.

I jump in the boat and fire my gun, POW!

Now I’m going far, far from this place here.

The ocean is rough yet better than there.

I’m sailing away because of my big fear.

I am far enough now on an island, bare.

Now I have started my new lonely life.

Food is scarce and would be better with spice.

This Poem Will Not Win

    by Scott S.

This will definitely not win for me

because this sonnet is very bad cake

I cannot help hating poetry see

and I just keep adding random words rake

Poetry in all its forms is boring

in fact it often helps put me to sleep

sometimes I can not prevent me snoring

for poetry is much like counting sheep

Teachers try to make me see poetry

as something that can be quite fun to do

that you can write about cats dogs or trees

but I think poetry should die like Rue

So to summarize everything said:

writing sonnets leaves me feeling quite dead.

Oh summer how you fill me with delight

Summer brings the most fantastic sunshine

We have the absolute best water fights

Summer, it is the most wonderful time

Lay in the sun to get that summer glow

Summer is the time for friends and laughter

Summer makes you high on life never low

Han all day and stay out all night after

The smell of flowers mixes with chlorine

The ocean and sand fight for attention

The mystical sun is never boring

Few glorious months free from detention

Sadly the months of summer always fly

And then we kiss that summer sun good bye.

The night so fluid in your indifferent embrace

Lives heedless in your journey to the top

The dark deciding the permanent pace

The tendrils constricting light until it pops

The futility of denying the inevitable

The instability of the last fragments of light

He world illuminated only by a few cables

Giving the world an endless hopeless plight

The concept of time revolving around

Making all of the human kind hours blind

The dark night with no illumination covers bounds

Covering the world with a endless gloomy mind

The sky lights up with a bright burning light

The sun ending the night’s endless gloomy blight

If I could dance I would be a dancer.
I'd glide across the stage on pointed toes
Graceful and lean like the reindeer, Prancer
Dancing, leaving behind all of my woes

To be a ballet dancer is my wish.
My toes broken because of the point shoes
and when I spin I hear the wind's loud swish
The pain is beauty when I wear tutus

Sadly I'm not cut out to do ballet
clumsy is not a quality you want
On stage no one would throw me a bouquet
I don't have the long legs you need to flaunt

Yet I still admire their elegance
Awestruck I observe from a great distance.

Shall I compare thee to my worst nightmare?
Whenever I see you, things never go right.
You always lie to me; you just done care,
When thy see's you, it gives me such a fright.

You're like a monster that doesn't go away,
like a nightmare, and I can't awaken.
You have hurt me so much, it is not okay,
You kill me inside, crazy thy have makin’.

I wish that someday thee will maybe fade,
I wish you could see what thy thinks of you.
Why do you always leave me in the shade?
I could say you're nice, but that is not true.

As long as you breathe, pain I will be in,
It's just when I'm with you, I never win.
