Is this right?

Hey guys, sorry to be a bother. I've got to turn in my sonnet tomorrow in my English Comp class, and I wanted to run it by some people who know what they're talking about. Here it is, in all its horribleness!

It's hard to write a sonnet when you're numb,

Grammarians and the English Grammar of Yesteryear

Well folks, it seems that, while I am firmly grasping large lumps of timber, things are improving for me for the moment. Since my last contact, I have only suffered from two nasty little episodes that only lasted for one and two days which is a vast improvement on what has gone before. I am also crossing my fingers and if anyone can inform me of any other superstitious activities that I might practise, or unusual contortions that I...

I could only find this feeling with you.

Strong emotions flow; never want to part,
Each day and night I only dream of you,
These seven words come from deep in my...

I've been thinking about this class all day. Some of you are irritable and sulky, showing open resentment that you have to write a sonnet.

Please don't just kick at stones. Here is the ideal form to present an idea, balanced with two points of view and then summarised. It's the essence of good writing with an introducton, body and conclusion.

What's more, it's the very form used by Shakespeare, and by many other famous poets. There's tradition in the sonnet-form, and...
