Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.

Revolution

Did you know, my dear, when you came to me,

That you had started a revolution?

When you spoke, I cried, “Please, just leave me be,”

Unaware of my new Constitution.

Every time you gave me love, I crumbled.

It was like the Moon rose during the day.

And when the Sun set at dawn, I mumbled,

“Hey, an upside-down world might be okay.”

You were an one-man army, proud and strong,

Determined to win, no matter the cost.

And when my world collapsed, in a slow song,

You sang, “I shall matter to you, the most.”

So hurry and come along, my rebel.

Together, we shall bid my world farewell.
