Lights Out
When the wind comes, and the firelight is blown Prepare, for the darkness shall come your way Get ready, `cause you might become alone All shall become full black, and not just gray
When the light goes out, there'll be nothingness Hurt, troubled, alone and everything else You shall feel all these, then you shall feel less As to when, you know not... time itself tells
Truth is, when the fire burns, you can see me And when the light fades out, you can feel me

I composed this Shakespearean-style sonnet because I felt the sadness upon looking at the candle photos that I recently took. This is my first time writing a sonnet. Hope you feel what I feel.

Very creative. Well done.
Thank you! :)
Beautifully crafted words :) I don't know much about sonnets but this is great poetry. Quite sad indeed.
Thanks pal! Appreciate it. :)

I just recently starting learning to write sonnets, limericks and free verse. There are so many different types to still learn.

Yes. There are just very emotional moments that make me want to write poems and literary pieces, which allow me to learn first how to do them properly. I guess emotions drive us to be poetic. :D
This is great material indeed :) I felt "unescapable sadness" vibe.
Makes me want to own the feeling and write something too, something in Filipino probably. Again, awesome job!
P.S. I know now what a sonnet is. Hehe
Write your own so I can check it out! :D
