Hi everybody, it's me, Nipster. I am in my school right now and I would like some people to see my poetry. I wrote a sonnet for English class (I didn't have to, but anyway...) that I'd like to share, in honor of Shakespeare's birthday, which is April 23rd.
If you do not know what a sonnet is, then let me explain. A sonnet was used in Elizabethan times as a greeting. It has 14 lines which have a rhyme pattern of ababcdcdefefgg (I'll show what I mean when I write it). Usually it has 10 syllables to each line, but that was too hard for me to write here.
I hope you like it.
