sonnet

[unicornvamp3z]

A moth to flame - our passions burn too bright
the knowledge and pow'r we desire
a flickering dance that pulls us to the light
we humans can't seem to stray from fire.
Fly to the flame and singed the moth will get
this frenzied drive will hurt us in the end
pursuit of things we want to know - not yet
are we ready; beware the pain t'will

I hear what you're saying, and i agree, truth is important. i was trying to make my point that it takes some study of a subject before you act on it to prevent a stupid mistake, ie a look before you leap poem. i wanna see if i can make that point come across more clearly... hm...

awww sonnets are SO MUCH FUN! once you have the rhythm in your head they're really fun to write, think. (it's iambic pentameter, 10 syllables per line of stressed/unstressed, and depending on which sonnet format you're using you have three quatrains with a rhyming couplet at the end :3 YES I AM A POETRY DORK)

it... kinda is. it's supposed to basically be "look before you leap!"
