The
obnoxious alarm starts a new day
Behind
closed eyelids I let out a groan
The
beeps and buzzes take my dreams away
As
if those fantasies were just a loan
Dancing
ponies flee my unconscious mind
So
does investigating a dark crime
I
wish that this clock were not so unkind
It
is like a tangy and bitter lime
But
though this alarm clock takes dreams from me
Without
it I would not feel the Sun’s rays
It
awakens me to reality
Even
better than sleep are happy days
I
smile at knowing that this is true
Because
when I’m awake I can love you
This poem is so good Holly! You wrote about something really relatable, which is good. I also like how you wrote in the third stanza about how waking up can be good at the same time. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting! When I was writing, it didn't occur to me that it would be so relateable, but I guess you're right!
DeleteThis sonnet it so sweet, and its obvious that you worked hard on it and I love the last two lines. You follow the rules of a sonnet in a great way but you really use these tools to write in a way you want to :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I agree. In the group sonnet, it also followed all the rules but didn't flow in the way I would actually talk. I was glad to write a sonnet that really expresses my form of writing but also followed the needed rules.
