Time
Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time,
The mirror shows a different degree,
Forgotten thoughts with words that do not rhyme,
Meander down the road to lunacy.
Shine your shoes up!
Put on your tie!
Let’s go outside…
And find a place to fly!
Come and gone for me to see, believed,
The ocean tides, rivers wide, crimson sky,
How will I know when God has called to me?
Upon my watch, three hands tell me the time.

Stanza One: Four lines of Shakespearean sonnet (iambic pentameter rhymed abab).
Stanza Two: Four lines of short and snappy free verse.
Stanza Three: Four lines of iambic pentameter blank verse, where the last line repeats the first line of Stanza One.
This may be my best yet. I just wrote it and it needs no fixing…
waves a white flag, unconditional surrender…
AARRRGGHHHH…
please, please give me something I can chew on…

I am definitely getting an education in forms of poetry. This is really good, TD. I love the third and fourth lines in particular, though I am still trying to decide the extent to which they are playful… Great work!

*grumbles* I don’t think I want to play this game anymore.
Simply stunning. I’m going to give them all a try as soon as work and school calms down.
Here’s my submission. Please pardon the sappiness of it, but I’ve just received a beautiful gift and “Shakespearean sonnet” makes me think mushy. *wink*
Good night Sweet Prince of mine, I watch you sleep.
Like an Angel child, your soul is innocent.
At the beauty of your countenance I weep,
The love I have for you will not relent.
The moonlight
glistens on your cheek,
makes me jealous,
of its caress.
I want you more with every passing day,
I love to stroll under the gloaming skies,
I need to lie beside you every night.
Good night Sweet Prince of mine, I watch you sleep.
