My first sonnet ever!! I was so excietd yesterday when I wrote it!!
dunno if I succeeded though.... here it goes...
Dream Terror
Often have I had gory dreams
Of being shut up in prison, of rape
Life threatening situations with no escape
Gruesome visions that oft made me scream.
But lately I had one of unspeakable horror
It was all the effect of Wilde's book
Dorian Gray took me off the hook
The dream made me weep and shudder with terror.
The one whom I love, I planned to kill her
I planned to kill her while I slept
The grossness of this I cannot forget
Cold, cruel, bloodthirsty murder.
"Please tell me she's alive, tell me she's not dead!!"
I cried out full of shame, repugnance, dread.

Hmm...I wish Oscar could read this..you might have saved him in Trial.
i'm not really qualified to pass judgement... even though it sounded really nice & made perfect sense. :-)
i like it shruti. its simple understandable and the kind of matter of fact simplicity it takes towards the thought is interesting.
the form is good though i dont like the content...but since its the sonnet, therefore the form matters more...and the words used r good...everything;s good...except i just dont like the content....its difficult because i am not being objective...but very subjective
hey, where is ur new poem?
