When at last the vibrant day is done,
By mother from the nursery we’re led,
We put away our playthings, one by one,
Only half averse to go to bed
Yet longingly we stare right past the door
And though we’re promised far more splendid toys,
We cannot seem to leave those on the floor
Of the room that had held all our private joys.
While mother calmly led us by the hand
We hadn’t stopped to think to stay or go,
But the bleary-eyed will never understand
The power of the unknown over known
So lulled by bedtime stories to not protest,
We feel there’s nothing better but to rest.

I've never written a sonnet before, but I was inspired by the sonnets of ~ksmsoccer89 to write one. And it helps that I was feeling particularly DEEP today.
That was wierd.
So, I give you "Sonnet I". I wanted to give it a snazzeh title, but was like, whatever, leave it be. I hope you'll all see through the metaphors, but I know you will, being the clever deviants that you are.
I used the rhyme scheme of a classic Shakespearean sonnet, which is as follows: ababcdcdefefgg
*yawn*. That made me tired, thinking of rhymes for "sleep" and "rest". And I have school tomorrow, so...
G' night!

ooo i like it very much so
its an honor to have inspired you. makes me feel special.
one thing though. i was told sonnets had to have 10 syllables per line. i wasnt aware of this at first either. i think its true though. hmm.
either way though i love it
