Lost

In a mediocre world

Where temptations live about

Lived a fairly lost girl

Who believed life was in doubt

She'd open her eyes and everything curled

She'd open her mouth and there was no shout

On her right pride, pride fell out the world

On her left, hope stayed on her route

She'd wondered on and on as if in a twirl

And it kept her from being let out

Everything started to be clear and uncurl

And a light shined her way out

Everyone should look at this lost girl and stare

For she can not be compared

Oh wow, that's the sonnet one right? I can't believe you did the first 12 lines with only two word rhymes. That was very very good!

On her right pride, pride fell out the world
On her left, hope stayed on her route

I felt those two lines were really great because it actually gave me a picture in the head. The last two lines really do give the umpf needed for the poem!

Uhh suggestions? The only thing is that the last line "For she can not be compared" seemed a little short compared to the line before it...ahh maybe pad it a bit so the rhythm matches?

That was good and keep up the good work :)

thank you :D

The only critque I'd give is that the line 'She'd open her eyes and everything curled' should've ended 'and everything would curl' so that it rhymed with 'girl' better. Good though :) Really good
Completely out of it because I havent slept in 24 hours! Haha

lol xD thanks for advice :D

Sonnet's are always interesting poems, I like what you have here. The nice thing about poetry is that you don't always have to follow the rules for it to come out great and while this is a very structured sonnet, I like the fact that not all the rhythms match exactly, to me, that makes it all the more interesting.

Kudos!!
