Shakespearean Sonnet: Wondering
Now we have fallen down the rabbit hole
because society has gone down too.
Through the looking glass, must be controlled
The light at the end of the tunnel glew
Alice, Alice, chasing down the white rabbit
Through the forest, through the trees, come and see
Come on now break this horrible habit
Hand in hand, cheek to cheek, always with me
To the mad hatter and then to the hare
Sing for the unbrithdays real and unreal
Look for the Cheshire and talk if you dare.
Then take the pathe to see the queen, surreal
Off with their heads, off with their heads she said
To the court to stand a trial, you and I.
Petrachan Sonnet: Gatsby
Enormous parties filled with confetti
Gentlemen and pretty girls dance around
many of people here and twenty
Sweet champagne spilling all over the ground
Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby, and Nick
The dangerous trio all around town
The air filled with the smell of red lipstick
Beware when the flashing lights all go down
The eyes of T. J Eckleburg watching
The green light at the end of the bay dock.
Everyone turning the background dropping
The game has begun the door unlocked
I remember that glorious midnight
And how that bullet ran through and had bite.
Ode: Ode to authors
To the ones who hide behind books, and words and ink.
Who wander and tear through their imagination to give us something to read
I search through desire
The rapture of blissful release from the reality we are bound to
And the horror that I know not all will survive you sharp tongued sword.
But breathe it in regardless.
Ode to authors
Haiku:
Pink and blue, girls, boys
pink for boys, blue for girls, no?
Gender is a choice.
Rain, boots, umbrellas
clouds are watching above us
The bustling life.
Technologic
Beep! Ding!
Ring ring ring
Hello? Can you hear me?
Where are you?
Tweet, instagram, Facebook, Delete.
YouTube, post, Type, Text, missed call
Bing!
Limericks:
There's ALWAYS a WAY
to FIND some trouble and not STAY
But for two BROTHERS
Who don't have a MOTHER
But they found the demon and sent him AWAY.
Lune:
Why oh why
Oh we try do hard
Just to die
