When I was a small girl of six almost,
I often had a fear of getting lost!
Now when I’m a little older, I rise….
I choose to lose, myself into your eyes.
And then, when I turned ten, I learned to sing.
But I now listen.. Just hear my heart’s strings.
It beats with the rhythm of your song… our song!!
I keep looking at you, for so so long!!
Life – “a short prose” , was turned a sonnet dear!!
Life – “a dead rose”, came alive, free of fear!
God made you, didn’t he fall in love with thee?
But you were sent here, cause you’re made for me!
I ask you… can I? Can I say something….!!??
You say ‘No!’…. I won’t. You say ‘Yes!’…. I can’t.

Hi!! This is my very first sonnet experimentation…..π€
Being honest…, it was really tricky for me to ensure and insert exactly 10 syllables per line… ππYes!! Go and check!! π…andΒ write a 14 lined poem(A Sonnet of course!!!) Do tell me how was it…?? I would love to know!!ππ
I hope you don’t die after reading this!!πππΒ Thanks for such a risky attempt!!!ππππ
And just something to share….. this happens when I write a poem…..π€«π€«π€
After reading this… my Mom thought I have a boyfriend!! π€π§πππππ
Sorry for the stupidity… but couldnβt resist Β sharing!!! ππ
Have a lovely day ahead!!!
Really? You donβt have a bf?
I mean really?ππ
