10 pts > Am I a good sonnet poet?

Question

Ambition

I know I can sing, if only I try

But why can I not endeavor to write?

I know I can laugh at clouds in the sky

But why can I not attempt a bird's flight?

So many a thing I know I can do

But dreams are not made by wishing and whims.

The only known truth is do what is true,

Tho hope is a ghost, and chances are slim.

I pray that my path won't lead my astray;

Ambition can turn a common life cold,

And yet there is joy when every new day

Reveals a new knowledge to reach the untold.

And even the greatest minds among men

Can not see the sky or cherish the wind.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Nice I should put one of my poems up only have five but maybe they are pretty good....

yours nice..

Your a poet bet you didn't know it? I just made one Ha ha LOL...

Well keep writing

I found your poem a star!!

Answer 3

Firstly, the poem is a typcial sonnet when acknowleding length, form and topic...

14 lines of rhyming scheme ABAB CDCD etc etc.  However, the last two lines of a sonnet should rhyme, "men" and "wind" do not, so that needs to be changed.

And the topic is "philosophy of beauty of life", also typical of a sonnet.

So based on those alone, you are a very good sonnet writer, but in addition to that, the poem itself is really really good. And anyone who reads it can be inspired by its meaning, so it is clear to me that not only is this poem good, but that it isn't good by chance, I think maybe you have a talent for it, if your other material is of any similar standard...

Well done, and in a one word answer to your question, "yes".
