Okay. So I'm here. Just a reminder. Guys, when you post your poems here, use

Okay. I'm posting one of my sonnets here.
'Twas a sunny Sunday of June
From the living room, a phone rang
I was listening to another tune
When a new feeling sprang
I heard my godmother's voice
That suddenly broke into sobs
A surprisingly disturbing noise
Caused by the death of someone she loves
I leaned in closer, straining to hear more
And the news reached my curious ears
I found out what the sobs are for
When I saw her crystal-like tears
So I went back to my room and pray,
"Lord, please do not lead his soul astray..."
I started to write this on... well, I don't remember. All I know is that I wrote this a few months after my grandpa died in 2008. After typhoon Ondoy, 6th day of October, I was alone in our house and I was so bored so I grabbed a pen and my old English notebook and I accidentally flipped to the page where I wrote half of this. I ran my eyes down to the last line and decided to finish it. So there. When I went home in Batangas after prom, my sister saw the paper where I wrote it (well, I tore the paper from the binder)and she was awestruck when she read it. She suddenly ran to the stairs when I heard my dad and I heard her
whispering so loudly to my dad about my sonnet., ha ha ha!! I dunno what his reaction was 'cos I was busy playing Plants vs. Zombies. Ha ha. :D I should've turned around to see his face. :/
