A Menu.

A menu type Sonnet. I wrote this after reading some sonnets from Shakespeare and decided that this would be fun and different.

Gather all the nouns and verbs and sift-em.

Take some good descriptive words and mix them.

Gently fold in structure, middle and the end

pen them all on paper and some day send.

Now follow instructions via your tutor.

Draft and draft and re-arrange, edit on your monitor.

Gather all info and practice every day

I will be guided steadily along the way.

I never could believe I could achieve a prose.

But with some skills I've surely found it grows.

Sadly now my class, is coming to an end

my next attempt a B unit I'll attend.

Now I know a writer, I would like to be

perfect is practice and perfection, we'll see.

Author's Note

i wrote this in college on my creative writing course.

It is playful writing. It is fun reading this poem. It is creative indeed.

I liked this part especially,

"I never could believe I could achieve a prose.

But with some skills I've surely found it grows.

It made me smile. Thank you.

Well done! Looks like you had fun writing this one and it is fun writing to form sometimes, kind of like doing a crossword puzzle or something. You have inspired me to have a go at one myself. Thank you for a fun piece.
