TRAGEDYP

She walks alone.
On the side of the road.
"Save me" she repeats.
She's entered the world.
Only to be forgotten.
She walks alone.

ROMANCEP

Let them be, standing there on the beach.
Only the wind pushes them apart.
Violions play in the background, everyone smiles.
Everyone sings as they dance in the sunset, happy.

COUPLETS

EX.Into my empty head there come
a cotton beach, a dock wherefrom
I set out, oily and nude
through mist in oily solitude.

REGRETP

As if she knew what i was thinking,
she said those three words without blinking,
i wish i could laugh at her just this time,
like she did to me when i told her i'm fine.

I'm sad and depressed and now what's left,
chasing her was the only thing i did best,
but now i'm at the airport waving good-bye.
Wishing i could go back to the first time we said "HI".

SONNET

ex. Italian (Petrarchan)- this sonnet is split into two parts, an octave and a sestet. The octave is composed of two envelope quatrains rhyming "abba abba" (Italian octave). The sestet's rhyme pattern varies, though it is most often either "cde cde" (Italian sestet) or "cdc dcd" (Sicilian sestet). The turn occurs at the end of the octave and is developed and closed in the sestet. Over the years, the Italian sonnet has been the most favored type of sonnet. Donald Justice- "Sonnet: The Poet at Seven

I guess now that I'm older I laugh less,
but the kids from school are now in college
writing papers about when they we're kids,
but i've learned that i'm not like the rest.
I sit and write and that's all I do these days,
I try to play drums and talk to distant friends
I party sometimes it just depends
I guess my life just seems to fade away.
But I remember when I was only 10
pictured what life I had only then,
not worrying about bills, lies and the girls
because I didn't have a care in the world.
But I guess now that I'm older I fell apart.
I've grown to learn that I have no heart.
