Sonnet
had to right a sonnet based on topics from Cyrano.
mine is about the letters Roxanne recieves until she eventually feels the need to go visit him in the middle of batlle to see him.
it doesnt have to be in iambic pentameter (thats extra credit) and if someone can exaplain how to figure it out i'd love to learn...
I hold the redress for my weeping heart
His words reach me where so sorely craved
All he says hit me like a true shot dart
And no ounce of me from this onslaught is saved
The art and beauty me straight from the gods
I pray the same protect him from fatal attracts
The perfection of his love beats all odds
In my dazed awe his face only distracts
The letter is done and my breath abated
The voice of my love ringing wholly sincere
The passion fills me yet I remain unsatiated.
Without him here I still struggle to persevere
Every bit of my body aches to hold him
I must have him for otherwise all looks grim.

You can figure it out by saying the lines aloud: iambic pentameter is an unstressed syllable, then a stressed syllable, five times per line. I have done nothing to improve the quality or meaningfulness of your sonnet-- I have just brought it nearer to iambic pentameter: I hold the redress for my weeping heart; His words reach me where I so sorely craved; All that he says hit me like true shot darts, And not an ounce of me from this is saved. The art and beauty came straight from the gods; I pray the same protect him from ill fate.
