ONCE WHEN I SAW YOU....

nikhilps

First day of my life, you came with a life

Only you were with me all the time, and made my day

Never thought for a friend, but you were given by life

My life went on rejoice, it had never seen such a joy

My thoughts were like tides of a bay

You came in the way like a lie

Your glorious name took me away, from my way

I totally trusted all that lie, and made me in that lie

If “truth will come out one day”

And if this statement is true

Then it came out in its way

And the entire true became untrue and you became true

An apology can’t dehydrate your wounds

But an apology may drain my mistake

    Hey! 14 lines....great! Now you need to make it iambic pentametre...adding the end-rhyming in the Shakespearian or Petrarchan/Italian pattern. Wow. Where did you get the idea to try? This is too cool that you tried! I wish you all success. But to my limited knowledge, this is not a sonnet. It is a sad poem for the initial rejoicing and joyful life that the false friend gave and then the horrible truth that it was only a lie. Your last two lines are fascinating, in their poetic assessment of the usefulness of the apology. I am so very glad you are trying to write sonnets.....again, I wish you all success in this endeavor....la, you'll doubtless do so much better than me...oooh, your poor Chechi! This was a nice attempt. Love, your Chechi
