love sonnets
for this assignment we had to write shakespearean sonnets about modern love
Love in the Soaps
soap opera love, a bore? no never!
daily insane situations arise
impossible for those to be together
not a day passes, someone does not cry
love is a powerful, magical dream
brings you back from the dead, causes much pain
special connections call out, a bright beam
shines through, wipes away all guilt and all shame
every person in love, a beauty
attraction and desire play a large part
cannot find true love, unless a cutie
good looks a bonus, yet a broken heart
always with pain, happy couples a bore
must be some conflict, what people watch for
Sunnydale Love
Based on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
friends yet soulmates, thought love lasts forever
in each others arms, feeling so alive
love not enough, could not be together
sad in this world, pure love cannot survive
need to feel, need for love, true and so real
love just a dream, empty actions for fun
no real emotions, difficult to deal
short, sweet relationship, over and done
first from attraction, obsession so strong
perfect pure passion, to love or to lust
pain and desire, could it be ever wrong?
feeling and comfort, true love not a must
love be it true, always full of the pain
for few precious moments, mostly insane
each quatrain is based on a relationship that Buffy has had
Buffy and Spike
could it be love? enemies forever
slayer and vampire, such passion and fire
fought for so long and friends they could never
desperate to feel, give into desire
physical first look, attraction so strong
love grew from obsession, one-sided though
spike’s love for buffy, because it is wrong
in his unbeating heart, lust for his foe
hate from love and confusing love with hate
perfect pure passion, to love or to lust
in love with evil, not such a bad fate
be it true happiness? is love a must?
comfort and feeling, suffering and pain
from hate be there love so true but insane
