Sonnet 18 (Shakespearean Style)

What is it I did right to deserve you?

What charitable act did I complete?

How was it you I was able to woo?

What entitles me to love, your sweet treat

That just I was so graciously given?

I received a gift, unworthy of me

But to your heart is where I was driven

Sarah, you are more fair than eyes should see!

 

My dearest Jeff, your words are truly kind

But, I don’t agree with the words you speak

I think love has made both your blue eyes blind

But, alas, all of your words make me weak.

  I love the sweet nothings you always say

  Which is why I will be yours ev’ry day.

Author's Note

This sonnet is written as spoken word between two people:
The octave is spoken about Jeff (Me) and then the sestet is Sarah's reply.
