Sonnet

A sonnet is a poem of fourteen lines, properly expressing two successive of a single thought or idea. Many writers such as William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe wrote sonnets.
When I started writing poetry this past January I wrote a sonnet called ‘I Never Traveled This Road Before’:

I never traveled this road before,
Lined with thick brush and boulders,
It looks strange and foreboding
There’s nothing to guide me.

Each step forward is a step closer
To an unknown destination.
What awaits me, I know not.
But I trek on.

I’m nudged forward
By an unseen hand
I turn around and
All the footprints of my life are gone.

Overhead, the sky hawk cries;
‘Follow me! Follow me!
