EDITED: Okay, I have received a lot of cool poetry. However, I should have clarified what exactly a sonnet is, and which style we're using. Totally my fault. Hopefully, this doesn't sour you all on doing it, for those of you who will have to rewrite it. I have extended the deadline to Wednesday, the 26th, 11:59PM PST. See below for the rules of the sonnet.
Rules:
1) Must be a Shakespearean, English sonnet. This has 14 lines written in iambic pentameter, which basically means 10 syllables each line. The lines rhyme as follows: a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g. You'll notice the last two lines are a rhyming couplet. So, to illustrate, here's a sonnet I wrote:
Shall I suppose the Eye forever shines? (a)
A mark, a rune, a desperate sweat of (b)
Madness; raging pleasure, hatred divine (a)
And You! Ought fly away O blackened dove, (b)
Foul, untamed carrier of what was mine, (c)
Corrupt another’s sky, soar high above! (d)
The circle of death: an infinite line; (c)
A rote path so sheer I climb, yet you shove (d)
Me as before below...dead in your eyes. (e)
Alas, cruel nature’s vice hath made my heart (f)
Divide; an empty well, a thirst for lies, (e)
Its rhythm faded by your poisoned part, (f)
A prismatic split, a moaning abyss (g)
A broken love, and a final dead kiss. (g)
See how the a's rhyme, the d's rhyme, etc? Obviously, this sonnet does not have anything truly supernatural, so it would lose.
2) Must be about some sort of supernatural occurrence. This can entail zombies, mind probes, octopus-tentacle beasts, radiation therapy, telekinesis, necromancers turned liches, etc.
3) Must also include a romantic interest, male, female, neutral, or otherwise. Romantic interest is not necessarily sex or love.
4) EXPLAIN how there is a love/romantic interest and supernatural occurrence if it is not obvious, as so many sonnets/poems can be vague.
5) PM me your entries.
6) I will judge them, and the winner will win - what the majority decides - what YOU will determine.
Only post in this thread the following:
What the winner wins. No commentary, nothing. Just "50 points."
Or, "Your trophy."
Or, "Endmaster's [Waist: (Glowing) A Battered Pocket-watch] gear.
Or, "A copy of 'The Last of Us'"
Or, "Piss off, you bleedin' bastard, we ain't into bein' forced into some Mary-lovin', rhymin' shite, yeh tosser."
The reward will be my trophy, caked with dust and the foul smell of lost success, unless you think of something better. And points. Oh yes, shiny points.
Any who abuse the thread to post otherwise will be immediately killed reprimanded.
