What we did:
The Shakespearean sonnet is sometimes hard to write because you have rules, 14 line poem with 10 syllables each line, half stressed and half unstressed, rhyme scheme of ab ab, cd cd, ef ef, gg and three quatrains and one couplet. We had to write a love sonnet. We had to use the description of3 senses for each quatrain. That made it easier because we could use lots of adjectives to describe the thing we love. Once we finished writing the sonnet it had to be critiqued by two people. They had to count the syllables in every verse and they had to write about what they liked about the sonnet and what they disliked.
Reflection:
In this sonnet I had to write about something or someone I love. Most of my writing is about my mom because whenever it says to write about someone you look up to wether its a family member or a random person I always choose her. I described my mom in my view, the way she smells, the way she feels and the way she looks. It was hard writing this poem because there was rules. With all these rules there was limitations to what I could write. But then I like writing this because even though it limits my writing it also improves it by giving me more struggles and learning how to deal with it or make it better.
