Beauty Baited
Here it’s free, a nice and calming setting
Places more beautiful, no one knows where
Wind blowing, birds chirping, the creek flowing
Suddenly, a foul odor coats the air
I look about and I see from afar
Man’s creation, waste, in and through the creek
Causing the creek’s beauty to fade… to mar…
As if it went from so strong to so weak
What was once like an innocent young’un
Has been brought down by the world and tainted
But sadly we cannot stop what has begun
If only we could see what we baited
How we let such things be broken and torn
Just shows us how we treat our gifts with scorn

Reflection:
What do you know about sonnets after finishing this project?
-From this project, I learned about the different types of sonnets and the different structures of sonnets. I learned a lot about how tedious it is to write a sonnet.
How did you include nature as the theme of your sonnet? Explain.
-My whole sonnet was about the damge that is done to nature, more specifically my creek, by an and the affect our waste has on nature's beauty. In the sonnet I compared it to a young'un being tainted by the world.
Were you happy with the end result of your sonnet?
Yes, I really like the building intensity in my sonnet and I'm very happy with my end product.
In the end, I was very pleased with my endproduct. I really enjoyed the writing and working of the intensity of the sonnet, I feel that I ended up with something chillingly intense. The work felt worthwhile and I was very excited to show my poem off at exhibition.
