Love Lyric
by: Jake Erkens
Guitar strings strummed
The drum sticks beating
And the vocalist singing
A love lyric to his beloved one
A love lyric for all star-crossed lovers
A love lyric to true love
Going falsetto
And three notes lower
His girlfriend in the front row
Lifts her hands up high in the air
As he sings a love lyric
While the band plays the notes
A love lyric to his beloved one
A love lyric for all star-crossed lovers
A love lyric to true love

Sonnets
Definition: a verse form consisting of 14 lines with a fixed rhyme scheme
Example:
Shakespeare’s Sonnet #18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shall death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
By William Shakespeare

Odes
Definition: a lyric poem with complex stanza forms
Example:
| | An Ode to Halloween I am new to writing poems and I hope I can learn from all of you. By the way, I learned how to write this kind of poem because of An Ode to Christmas. Thank you very much! An Ode to Halloween When you see a child In a costume scary and wild You know it is Halloween. When kids go trick-or-treats And get lots and lots of sweets You know it is Halloween. When the trees give up their yellow leaves And the dead give back their R.I.P.s You know it is Halloween. An Ode to scrumptious snacks An Ode to skeletons that clack An Ode to Dracula An Ode to tarantulas An Ode to Halloween An Ode to the year’s best time An Ode to clocks that chime An Ode to Halloween |
