This was an assignment but this is one that I had fun with, one that will hopefully get the full credit when it is turned it, though I thought it might be worthwhile to post it here as well. Despite the fact that it is nothing furry related but it is an inspiration in writing literature.

The assignment was to comprise an English Sonnet for a poetry section. An English Sonnet is a specific format of poetry that follows a specific criteria to that its shape and form.

1. The sonnet is composed of a total of fourteen lines, these lines are broken down further into sections: Three quatrains and then a final couplet at the end. A quatrain equals four lines each and a couplet equals two lines.

2. Each line must have a total of ten syllables, it can be one more or one shy of the standard of the general ten if necessary.

3. The final word in a line must rhyme with the alternating line that comes after it; meaning that Line 1's final word should rhyme with Line's 3 final word in the first quatrain and so on. The final words in the couplet line should rhyme with each other.

4. The first two quatrains should tell a story or set up a background of some sort. The third and last quatrain acts a plot twist of some sort, a disturbance in the original background or idea with something unexpected or new. The couplet can either act as a summarizer for the quatrains or continue to a conclusion from the third quatrain.

Those are the general rules for making an English Sonnet; as it may guess, this idea comes from Shakespeare times considering that it would usually have the old English language in the poem. Though it's fun to take a old idea and give it a modern spin.

Perhaps I'll make more of them considering with the volume of video games I enjoy.

Peering Through the Haze

Deep underground life has faltered the light
The metro tunnels give home for the last
Without light, darkness to overcome sight
Well-lit helps repel the endless gloom fast

The lengthy tunnels have all fall silent
The rails of the past are then left to rust
What lurks deeper in can become violent
The keen soldiers to stand guard are a must

The fighters are alert to a loud sound
The invader comes, growling with anger
Their entity of hazard is abound
Soldiers with their rifles aimed at danger

The force that they were met with was scary
The Dark Ones bring death and man to marry
