you tried

A kid in Creative Writing tried to write a sonnet today. 

I say kid because he is one of about 3 on campus who looks 13 years old. I am not exaggerating. At least now I know his name.

I say tried because he got the rhyme scheme alright, but the meter was hackneyed. 

*gold star*

I admire effort. I think it was pretty cool that he went out on the limb that he did, going full-on formal poetry like that. 

Still...

it wasn't a sonnet.

  1. Awww, was he a cute enough little kid to get away with it?

    Was it a good poem, other than the meter?

    (Although I prefer a good meter to a good rhyme scheme, and I think maybe you do, also, so "good" would have to be relative.)

  2. XD he is presh, but noooooo. No excuses.

    I liked it well enough.

    (I prefer BOTH. but yes, meter is more important to me than rhyme, as a rule...:P)
