She was the one (Sonnet with octave sestet)

by Khalid M Darwish   Jul 31, 2012


Of all man kind
she was the one
who fed the gun
and shot the mind

I was that blind
of her love stun
that made heart done
who's hard to bind

She was the belle
who enticed me
Charming gazelle

Heart she befell
and got the key
I'd soul to sell

* A sonnet (14 lines)
Octave as abbaabba then sestet as cdccdc
Each line has 4 syllables

Made for contest

  • This is a cleverly written piece and the rhyming was great.

    Suggestions:
    A few of the starting capitals are unnecessary and perhaps consider the use of some punctuation in some places...?
    Not completely necessary, just think that may make it even better.

    Beautiful work, Khalid. 5/5
