I wrote this for my Shakespeare class. It's a sonnet, based heavily on Lewis Carroll stuff. I can't settle on a title. I think it's in perfect iambic pentameter. Huh. Cool.

Fade to Grey

Chapter 1

Printer-Friendly version

The Golden afternoon had made us grin

As down the peaceful river we would go

The cherub nymphets’ giddy laughs were sin

But little did my simple, chaste mind know

 

As many merry tales I had wove

The sparkling eyes of merry nymphs did shine

The nymphest of them all was that which drove

My feeble mind to give her what was mine

 

But time has passed and gentle nymphs have gone

And left me deeply locked within my soul

No longer could I love, or praise, or fawn

O’er darling dears with love I can’t control

 

My golden afternoon had turned to grey

Ever since that dark and woeful day
