Constructing a Sonnet
 
The place I rumble is my very own park
It is there were I walk my rounded pet
20 years from now they will see my mark
Below the plywood lies my tattered net
I shoot till I no longer feel my limb
I play my game to simply hear the swish
Not the dreadfulness of a clanking rim
To never miss a shot is my only wish
Somedays I fell every jump that makes me sore
I might be tall but I am not that tall
To maneuver the trees is the only way to score
To succeed the puppet has to be the ball 
I have always loved to play this fun game
Maybe one day it will bring me some fame

Creating a sonnet require a lot of brainstorming and a little bit of patience. I used some techniques and organization skills to help create my sonnet. I faced some difficulties through out the process.

One of the techniques I used was counting on my fingers the amount of syllables to produce a 10 syllable line. I organized words that rhymed with each other that related to my topic as you can see.

The challenges I faced creating this project was understanding the rhyming scheme and the imbecile pentameter. I had to do research for both this problems. The rhyming scheme was easily researched and it goes like this. A-B-A-B-C-D-C-D-E-F-E-F-G-G

After I finished the rhyming scheme I worked on the iambic pentameter which was difficult. I total failed with my ability to correctly follow the guidelines. The guidelines are you have to have 5 unstressed syllables and 5 stressed syllables alternating in each line. In my poem on the lines there was no pattern to the stressed and unstressed syllables (The place I rumble is my very own park). The poem should of sounded more like this (Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?)

Overall the makings of my sonnet was a bit of a steeping stone to create a more successful sonnet next time. To improve I will have to plan my sonnet out even more and writing it with the full understanding of the imbecile pentameter.

Here is a good video for creating sonnets.
