Our 13yo has been working on a sonnet this week, and she completed it today. I’ll share it with you, sans title, and leave the topic as a surprise.

Scanning the names, I prepare to compete. Choosing the track, my heart skips a beat. Thinking rude things that I don’t really mean, I watch the hand that is known, but not seen. Another player’s track is now chosen, I think through each lap, going one by one. I’ll surprise my opponents, I think, then… The race is starting, the race is begun! I weave around others, dodging a shell, And laugh as a player drives around, pell-mell. My character hits the ground with a thud, Crossing the finish line covered in mud. Though this sounds awesome (watch out for that tree!), You’d never guess it’s Mario Kart Wii!
Inspiration for a Sonnet
Reblogged this on Homeschooling Behind the Scenes and commented:
This is a funny sonnet to me. I was browsing the blogs and found this one.
LOL Great Job! I read this poem to my kids today (Shakespeare’s Birthday) as an example of a modern day sonnet. they laughed hard at the end
Now they are going to try their hand at writing a sonnet. Thanks so much for sharing!
