SONNETS
A sonnet is a form of poetry that consists of 14 lines written in iambic (Unstressed (U) Stressed (/)) pentameter (ten syllables). This type of poem often comes in the form of Shakespearean, Petrarchan, Spenserian, or Miltonic. The concise and restricted form of the sonnet facilitates the expression of poignant emotions and the elaboration of a single idea or thought.

Though I encourage you to take a look at my comments on the original post, try and identify the three levels of reading poetry (literal, metaphorical, meta-poetic) in my poem below. Hint: "Demeter = the meter" ;)

Pay close attention to the manipulation of imagery and contrast throughout this piece. From the motif of waves, internal rhyme, and caesura/enjambment - don't be afraid to let your creativity shine as you enfranchise disadvantaged perspectives.
