Sherlock Sonnet.

[errantcomment]

Title: Shakespearian Sherlockian Sonnet
Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: PG (Mainly to be safe, there aren't even swears)
Word Count: 200
Summary: Written for Make Me A Monday on sherlockbbc. Someone wanted a Shakespearean sonnet.
Notes/Warnings: I did my best with iambic pentameter, but it's vair late.

 

Today a man threatened to burn you dear,

See my own heart at the end of a gun.

My own heart made me feel this thing called fear,

Never felt before; the damage is done.

Today I left my beloved by a pool,

See my own heart fall; crumbling as I go.

My own heart made me feel like any fool,

Hollow chest- I wonder if it will show.

Today I faced my foe an empty shell,

See my own heart no longer beats for me.

My own heart has feelings I cannot quell,

Flimsy, I blow away for all to see.

Today he threatened to burn my heart out,

And he did, for my head was full of doubt.

Lovely! Very much in style, and yet its own thing. If that makes sense.

Yes, I did try and copy Shakespeare, but I got all tangled up in the words. Doing it in my own style was way easier.
Thanks for reading and stuff. ^_^

OMG thank you so much!
This really made my day a lot better.

The only bad thing is that I am now trying to find the literary tropes and figures of speech you used...

Really brillant ♥

Very good with the pentameter!
I thought it captured some really great feelings. I "oooh'd" out loud so that's a win in my book! Brilliant job.

I just got finished teaching sonnets. I think the Bard would approve. :)
