Best Shakespearean Sonnet Poems

Halloween Sonnet

It's Halloween, that spooky time of year,
when scary monsters prowl the streets at night,
those freaky ghouls make me shiver with fear,
in costumes that give me a dreadful fright! 
 
Pumpkin lanterns cast a dire, eerie glow
as eager children arrive at my door;
Candy offerings on...

Iambic Pentameter

A renaissance delight beguiles our sight.
Such enigmatic smile on face doth hold
our wonder why such cheer's in gentle light,
and hidden secret's veiled from view untold.
What name do we ascribe to model's grace.
Is she from noble family fame and ease,
but certain nomen's sore to know...

The moon doth appear in that dark horizon
And glistens with a beam of drifting light.
Let thy passions stroll with the companion
Of forlorn hovering clouds in moonlit night.
O Nature, sing not thy lonesome songs again
For I doth find a friend in each of thy cells.
I rejoice...

Thou has the fairest of features my love.
My conscious of thy beauty shall not die,
It surrounds me thus, as immortal glove.
Your piercing beauty of blue eyes, as sky.
Thy warm body I shall ever cherish,
To whom my soul doeth forever belong.
Thus my desire for thee shall...

Trochaic Pentameter

Pretty eyes that show such deep affection
make the joy bells chime this day in my heart.
Why should I now be her great selection
most think she's a wondrous piece of fine art.
My head resonates bell loudly ringing
like to tintinnabulary paean.
Eyes that make the chimes to...

The quiet city, is still half asleep 
the morning moon's glow pierces through the sky, 
stars gather close, as if they were in heaps 
watching faint clouds, as they slowly drift by. 

What will become of this December morn? 
Will the birds sing happily, in...

I love to swap things with my friends.
	Today I’ve got a recipe
	to offer you. Please send me yours.
	Let’s make some “soup” with poetry.

	You must have fourteen cups of fresh
	strict meter. Just one brand will do;
	that’s iambic pentameter.
	For spicy sonnet flavor, you

Go look up the original sonnet called An Uplifting Sonnet. This one's called The Uplifting Sonnet because of the fact that it's actually much more Shakespearean and it flows better strangely. Rock on and pen on, all! I hope this verse is thrilling. P-soup me...

Sienna’s notebook matches the blue sky,
along with the stripes in her plaid shirt sleeves.
Cold pushes me and I wonder why.
The ground is littered with the trees’ old leaves.
Grass is dying from the lack of sunlight. 
Trees constantly dance to their own wind song.
Ants run from...

What Shakespeare didn’t write he left to me
In this, a brand new world and century
The English language lives and breathes, alive
A poet’s job is helping it survive

The Muses use us, soul and body, mind
To write of things that can not be defined
The subject matter always...

The sun in splendid majesty departs
To drape his train across the evening sky,
Mere candlelight next to the vivid spark
Struck from one glance from thy once azure eyes.
Both man and nature music doth compose
On instrument of orchestra and trees,
But all of heavens hymns I might transpose
And...

Before you, beauty couldn’t be defined
Your eyes glisten like the sun on the sea
To say I love you, I’m more than inclined
Yes, I really hope you will stay with me

Your face shines brighter than the mid-day sun
Not even to an angel, you compare
From more than...

PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

   Mental strength holds life, never goes useless.
    One truth is more powerful than ten lies.
     Failure is always pillar of success.

Iambic Pentameter

To ancient Romans opals symbolized
luck beneficial, hope eternal, aye.
And medieval people realized
such stone could keep them healthy - one should try.

This blaze with colors like to autumn days
displays a brilliant multi-hues affect.
It beautifies and shows in many ways
discriminating judgement most correct.

Australia's place to seek...

ORBIT OF MAGNIFICENCE


Has anything before been quite this bright 
Defining countenance within pure beauty? 
Its aura blinds the thirsting eye of light 
To knowledge of the plan in nature's duty. 

When in the orbit of magnificence 
A balm of Gilead will calm the soul; 
An...
