This is my first attempt at a Miltonic Sonnet. The rhyme scheme is abba abba cdcdcd.

These days you're with me, everywhere I go I know you're there, although you never speak Just yesterday we waded Dogwood Creek It picked me up when I was feeling low Last night, out on the porch we swung real slow Your being there enhanced the night's mystique You fell asleep, I kissed you on the cheek It was so soft you didn't even know Today, we'll go to some exotic place Some island where we've never been before Escaping far away from this rat race Just you and me on some secluded shore Although I've never met you face to face You're here inside my heart forevermore by Daniel Turner
