Love (Sonnet) by simone_girard

Love is like a piece of gold Hard to find, harder to hold Of all the guys I've ever met Your the one I cant forget I do believe the lord above Created you for me to love I once had a heart pure and true But now it's gone from me to you So take care of it as I have done For you have two now and I have none And if I get to heaven and your not there I'll wait for you by a golden stair If your not there by judgement day I'll know you've gone the other way So I'll trade my halo and my wings And all my other beautiful things Just to prove my love is true I'll go to hell and back for you.

There are three traditional styles of sonnet: English, or Shakespearean; Italian, or Petrarchan; and Russian, or Onegin. The distinguishing feature of each is the rhyme scheme.

English: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG
Italian: ABBA ABBA CDECDE (sometimes CDEEDC)
Russian: ABAB CCDD EFFEGG

Note that these are all fourteen-line poems, while "Love" has eighteen. It doesn't come anywhere close to being a sonnet, of any kind.
