Urban Sonnet
Invented by: Laura Loo. Sonnet form, with 10 syllables per line and a rhyme scheme of: ABABBB- CDCDDD- EFEFFF-GG
Love is something that's intrigued you since birth,
for it was a word that you seldom heard.
And yet, you fantasize somewhere on Earth,
someone loves you; though that may sound absurd.
You sometimes hear whisperings of that word
embedded in the tune of a songbird.
You oft dream love awaits on distant shores,
leaving you wondering if it is true.
Perhaps you should leave this place love ignores,
maybe it's time to move on, somewhere new.
Pack your suitcase and bid this town adieu,
and for once in your life, try something new.
Travel, go see the world, follow your dreams;
let your hair down; allow your light to shine.
Take a chance; say goodbye to silent screams,
and search for love's intimate telltale sign.
Your future happiness is on the line;
trust in yourself; let hope be your guideline.
All you need to believe is that it's true,
your soulmate is also looking for you.
