Roll for Poetry #1: Dark Sonnet

Roll for Poetry #1: Dark Sonnet

Nov 02, 2022

Hello! I've started a new segment on my TikTok called "Roll for Poetry" where I have a numbered list of components to create a poem with. I roll dice to choose the Rhyme Scheme, Theme, Topic, Keywords, and a Time Limit to write it in. This time around, I rolled: Sonnet, "dark" theme, "hate" for the topic, keywords: home, sun, and hope, in a 45 minute time frame. Here is the end result! Let me know how I did meeting the requirements. Find the full video here: https://www.tiktok.com/@un.a.bridged/video/7161432579931933995?is

Dark Sonnet

Alas my heart has been shredded again

And pain embedded in my very core

No hope to see the light I found in vain

A twisted mem'ry written by the score

Your venom taints my mouth and mind alike

Twists my words to nothing within its breath

A heat exceeding that sun of young life

And scorches my soul until its new death

What home remains is ash by your own hands

My one true love disdained by treach'rous hearts

By ceasing to meet your constant demands

I've become an enemy in this part

I could never wish you bad luck or will

But when I die my ghost will have its fill
