Challenge
Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.
Precious
When the weight of the world holds your down,
Please don’t worry
There’s no need to frown
It feels sometimes like we’re all in a hurry
But when you’re with me,
It will soon become clear
You’re right where you’re meant to be
Don’t be scared, my dear
The world likes to go against you
It wants to destroy everything you are
Don’t be blue
You’re a shining star
Keep shining bright, my dear
With me, you have nothing to fear
