Kudos on the sonnets ladies.

humbert

here's my attempt*gulps:(

After much thought and contemplation
The virtual acquaintance on which my mind does settle,
It's our panda, so without further hesitation
I shall begin to describe this boardsie of such fine fettle.
To beguile the time or to pursue an education
Involved you’ll find her in many an event.
Though it doth seem that medicine be her vocation
She remains entwined in politics with great intent.
In many debates with many a foe she has toiled
And oft without satisfaction the contenders have parted
With harsh spoken words blood has boiled
A moderator be required lest someone be outsmarted.
Animosity among adversaries is all very well,
But we won’t have our dear panda called a bitter jezebel!

Be gone those who bequeath to thou Grimes,
For 'tis to give, not be given,
Across the days, across the times,
Thou some stripes may speak of a heathen,
What is needed of us is not of grandeur,
No gold nor francincense nor mir for me,
No, this that on which to ponder,
That which may be worthy of thee,
The sweet song of a sparrow yields not enough,
Perhaps something that is of inconcieveable value,
Not my works, the pages are too rough,
What posseses me now is the thought of a yew,
Poisonous for man to drink,though not touch,
But live forever?, it's lives for much.



Yeah, I'm a bit of a lick amn't I.... Don't dis the sonnet though, c'mon, a decent attempt for a sciencey kid surely?

im touched! Dajaffa ftw
will leave this open untill I wake up. So around 6pm tonight incase anyone was working on theirs

hullaballoo

I must say that I originally thought dajaffa had googled a sonnet and then added her own words, but it appears she has not. In that case, well done dajaffa, that is a really good piece of poetry! You should remove the grimes bit (which cheapens it a bit ) and take it to creative writing.

I initially thought it was quite Byron-esque - would that be accurate at all?

Chinafoot

I'll be honest and admit that I googled a few lines of the sonnet to see if anything popped up.

Fair play dajaffa.

Dave!

dajaffa PM'd me and asked me to write the sonnet for her. That's my poem.

GAWDDDD!!! Just admit it!

</lies>

wow two sonnets written about me!you guys are too kind:) and what kind words you have bestoweth on me 'garrulous wretch' and 'bitter jezebel'....stop with the compliments...your making my head big!!

dajaffa

Can I just say thanx 2 u kids who complimented the poem n such. I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank my fith class teacher who filled me with all sorts of poetic confidence when giving me joint first place for the poem "Autumn". It's theme was autumn, oddly enough.

As for that Byron-esque queiry, I can safely say I've no idea what that means so........ yeah. And I don't think they do creative wrting in physio... maybe through horizons, but if this year is anything to go by I'll only find one thing I like that fits into my timetable, and at least half my class will be doing it as their elective too.

Blush_01

Then maybe do creative writing as an extra curricular thing?
