The Almighty’s Gift: Creativity

Good Evening! I am trying to write a sonnet. I want to have the sonnet professionally framed, so please let me know what suggestions and corrections you have for my sonnet. Also, please review the punctuation of the poem. Thank you for all of your help!

The Almighty’s Gift: Creativity


Let me take thee on a magical trip

As our journey is bound by no extent

Thou God, we don’t possess any kinship

Yet this gift you gave, we have no resent

Creativity is a divine trait

And can’t be stopped in the battle of the mind

Those with equal power, end in stalemate

But this talent is a gift, to mankind

Together we’re kids of the almighty

As a creativity, is god gifted

But our soul makes us different, precisely

We’re here to make our ideas vivid

For we are the leaders of the future

And we paint our lives just like a picture

A few of your lines have too many syllables and the meter is mostly wrong, though your rhyme scheme is pretty good. Most of the time you're writing trochaic pentameter. / _ | / _ | / _ | / _ | / _ This makes each line end with an unstressed syllable, which is very strange for a sonnet.

  • / _ | / _ | / _ | / _ | / _ This makes each line end with an unstressed syllable, which is very strange for a sonnet.
  • You'd do better to use the standard iambic pentameter, ending every line with a stressed syllable.
  • _ / | _ / | _ / | _ / | _ / The style is slightly inconsistent.
