Do I love you? Oh Yeah – in many ways.
I love you infinity plus one times
Greater than you reckon it’s possible
And to the total end of everything.
I love you so much, that I cannot say
If I need you more by day or deep night.
I love you because I can feel it’s right.
I love you deeper than a priest loves God.
I love the way you ignite my passion
And give me strength to halt my childhood fears.
I love you with a love I thought I’d lost,
When my faith in humanity I tossed
Beneath the rails of this blind juggernaut
That will end my life – not my love for you.
(Inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 43”)

Superb. What is the difference between a sonnet and a poem? May I ask you?

Hi Indira, thanks for visiting 🙂 A Sonnet is a 14 line poem which can have a variety of different rhyming techniques (or none) and in English, each line is exactly 10 syllables long 🙂 The are fun and challenging to write. A poem doesn’t have as many (if any) rules, if you don’t want them. Your Haiku’s, limmerick’s and senryu’s are all poems. Hope that helps 🙂
