**//DEAR GOD, I NEED HELP WRITING A SONNET

Dear god, I need help writing a sonnet. To many syllables to deal with today Literally have a bee in my bonnet Would rather swim to San Francisco bay Then sit here writing-freedom in nine lines I feel lost and confused like when they left Me stranded in Giant-that’s a real bind Amid the bananas my heart bereft And finally my sonnets almost done My cat smiles back triumphant- a lion We do a dance together the battle won Just realized he might be Hawaiian Ha! Iambic pentameter be damned This sonnet’s feet are totally scammed//** About A Boy To whom it may concern: Please excuse me from being late to school today I am in love 'Love?!' you ask, 'that’s your excuse to do as you may?’ Why yes. It’s making me crazy Can’t read an alarm clock when your vision is hazy.

Dear teacher, I didn’t do your essay I was too busy writing this poem To a boy. Then at school, I was too shy to give it to him Some say love will always bite you And I know I’m sick, but not with swine flu.

Hey coach! Sorry I missed practice I tried everything to get my crush's attention Spent 4th period stalking his class room, Got caught cutting class, assigned detention, Everyday for the rest of my life, I’ll be locked In A23 and my heart, ‘cause his is blocked

Oh my god! Best friend-guess what? The boy, my boy! He wrote me a love song Every line about his undying love for me. On second thought, it was boring and long, I thought love songs were supposed to make a girl weepy. And besides, devoting all that time to write about just one person? //Creepy.// Only the Good Die Young Version 2 based on Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean Katie was a girl Such a sad and lonely girl She needed a friend Along came the tractor Ted. He’s not really made of parts Just a man who stole her heart

She saw him in town one day He saw her and decided his wedding day Love at first sight, you know? The grand prize on Life’s game show Love will bring them together They’re the same, but like lace and leather

Dating, engaged, married Happiness never varied Children, relatives, pets Trips to doctors, airport, vet’s Everyday activities are what really matter In the wind, our memories scatter

They had a good life Honored sacred vows between man and wife But our time can’t last forever We say goodbye, hello, whatever Ted and Katie were meant to be You can’t deny or disagree

What happens to love when two people die? Does it go on forever? Is it imprinted in the sky? Is each star a love story, Burning high and bright, Waiting to be remembered, When you lift your head to the endless night?
