Sonnet #1
Do my heated words strike your heart as vile?
Or are they the truth you wish not to bare?
Have they lit the flame of rage in beguile?
And will they make your veins urge to reach air?
Do they cause your blood to stir and mangle?
Or do they feed your mind, tainted madness?
Have they turned unsaid words into tangle?
And brought your soul to heavenly sadness?

All I meant to tell you is my story.
Never did I mean to say more or less.
I do not intend to be too gory.
Life is already too much of a mess.
     Sorry for the pain and hurt caused dear saint.
     Sorry for all the troubles you have gained.

My first atempt at a sonnet....what do you guys think?

Definately don't let this be your last sonnet. This is great! I'm very impressed, I know how hard it is to make a structured poem flow naturally. Great job babe!

I thought that what you had to say in the poem was great and that the message conveyed was meaningful.

Now, I'm not meaning to offend you here, but in calling it a sonnet, I was a little surprised not to find meter in the poem(iambic pentameter for a sonnet). I hope that I haven't offended you any, as a sonnet is very hard to write, but because I value form in poetry and a sonnet is based on form, I just had to bring it up.

It was a great attempt though, and I'm sure it will evolve into a beautiful poem- meter and all  , as your abilities advance throughout time. No hard feelings, right? Please send me an email if you see fit.

Erin - Thanks so much babe for all the kind words....  

J - Told ya I'd do that!   Thanks I hope to work on some more....

AndrewDL - Thanks for pointing all that out, I mean it's understandable and I knew it wouldn't be a great sonnet cause it's just my first one....I'm still learning it step by step and it was my attempt you see...but I understand what you mean, it is not an actual sonnet without the iambic peremeter. I hope to work on one that does follow that and if you have any tips for me...please email them to me...thanks! Def, no hard feelings

wow Salooma. nice poem. I don't know where I was that I missed this poem when it was originally posted. I have never tried a sonnet. You must have some skills to be able to do that.
