Poem for Friday

Today's poem is a sonnet. I wrote this poem about me and Shakespeare writing a sonnet.
Hope you all like it. After this poem I'll be posting up some of my older poems from the summer and from high school. I may post some very old ones I wrote when I was younger (if I can find them).

I Wish to Write a Sonnet Like Shakespeare

I wish to write an awesome sonnet like
Shakespeare, who could write it in his sleep
And make it easy as riding a bike.
I wonder how he does it—how the BLEEP

Does he write one? And it does not sound
Like a cliché, like when I am writing one.
He goes the distance and knows no bound,
While I tried my best attempt and lost—he won.

I cannot rest and eat until I have written
One that can make everyone's heart and soul soar
In the limitless sky. They will be smitten
By my words, and I will let out a roar!

So, I've written a sonnet. Now you know
And you'll remember me as Lady Doe.
