Well, I never wrote a sonnet before. after realizing that I did it wrong and spent hours doing it (lol) I decided to keep it as my own version of a sonnet. A sonnet as I understand has 14 lines with 10 syllables with rhymes. Mine here has 14 lines with 14 syllables and rhymes...Oh well...hope you like it.

Summer love, a man, a woman, conception, a new born Ring the bells, amplify megaphones, bugle the cow horn The ceremony begins, baptism, cries, holy water From two one, family, father, mother, son or daughter A priests blessings, proud grandparents, proud parents, birth anew Hospital papers, a birth certificate, much to do Tears from parents, tears from baby, tears from all, tears of joy Breast fed, nipples, milking mothers, changing diapers, oh boy A songbird sings, rock-a-bye-baby, lullaby's at large Aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, sitters take charge A pacifier, a cradle, corners of stuffed toys Hanging crib toys, singing toys, jingling bells, rattling noise A new generation, of life, all this, in summer love A woman, man, baby, a family, from god above
