My English class has been studying Sonnets. Anyone have a good one to share that they enjoy/wrote themselves?
Here's a sonnet by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, In Italian form.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when I feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and Ideal Grace,
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old greifs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seem to lose
With my lost saints I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

William Kirby's Montmorency is a favorite of mine. You should be able to view it here. Enjoy.

i wrote one too!!!
He is the perfect guy; like Adonis
His face lights up with his perfect smile
I once had a dream where we shared a kiss
To see him grin I’d run a mile
Oh! He’s walking with me in the hallway
He comments me on my “rad” boom-box purse
Damn! The bell rang. I have to walk away
As I walk to class the bell I do curse
But he is a butterfly I can’t catch
I know he will come to his senses
I know he’ll understand I’m his true match
He will let me get through his defenses
Now that I know him better then before
I realize I like him more and more
i wrote it about this guy that doesnt know i exist...
