my sonnet

so i had to write a sonnet for my poetry class, and one of my friends read it and said it was pretty good, so i figured i would post it on here!



Beyond the hills, did the suns raze recede
To leave the village in happy hues of red
With fishermen retreating back from sea
And children playing happily before their called to bed.

Life remains the same on shores of the Mediterranea
The days of summer here are so sweet,
Young lovers strolling the empty streets so happily
And smile at their find of this ancient Villes retreat.

The darkness arrives, and swallows up the sea,
Lights from the piazza shine down narrow streets,
To fall upon the eyes of cats with glee
And shine upon the cobblestones weathered from so many feet.

But with the night, the weather will not stay the same,
And the vacation is gone, just as quickly as it came.

So I posted "impressive" on the other one, but this one is way better. Very nice.
