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
