Lots of Sonnets - December 2006

Lord of the Flies Sonnet

December 16th 2006 04:06

All play and no work makes Jack a bad boy
Maybe Merridew was bad all along
But he would not call himself bad - just strong
And he'd use his strength so he could enjoy
The thrill of the hunt - which served to annoy
Those with a sense of what's right and what's wrong

A few boys felt that they did not belong
There so they hoped to escape, not destroy

Jack stole Piggy's specs, making him near blind
But his moral sight stayed better than most -
Kids who tired of catching pigs to roast
And made it a game to hunt humankind

At least two had died when at last help came
Would those who survived ever be the same?

If you would like me to write a sonnet about another well-known book or movie, let me know here and I'll try it. However, it probably won't be as fresh in my mind as The Lord of the Flies, because I read that book last week.

Very good writing!

How about one about 'The Catcher in the Rye'?

Cheers,

Thanks - I've got that lying around somewhere and I'll try to write that after re-reading since it's been a little while.

How about Lost? Okay, just kidding.

I'm impressed with your ability to write a sonnet on such disparate topics.

Some great movies might be Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, or any of the Thin Man series. Especially the Thin Man series. I love Nick and Nora.

I probably will write a sonnet on LOST as the season approaches, but not quite yet. I actually haven't seen or read gone with the wind or the thin man, so I won't be doing any of those.

I thought of writing a sonnet in the style of Holden Caulfield, but he wouldn't write a sonnet.
