Petrarchan Sonnet about Love (Sonnet) by emilyowey

Love is a mockery of all that's right, Because my world does not know how to feel Or genuinely care for what is real. We give ourselves away for just one night. So when the truth is brought to light, All know that it will take a while to heal, And that such love is far form the ideal. Yet for real love we seem to've lost the fight. Can we let feeling take what we hold dear, And replace it with guilt beyond belief? This cannot be the plan ordained for me. So now I'll chose to live without the fear, And let myself be bathed in sweet relief, For love and I simply do not agree.

A Concrete poem is a conglomeration of words (sometimes one word repeated over and over) whose overall shape is a key to the concept it presents. There are no truly agreed-upon conventions, but a natural elegance of arrangement is often striven for.

Sometimes the poem can be read in multiple directions from different starting points, depending on the shape of the form and the curiousity of the reader.
