MY 1ST SONNET xD
A) One sight bang im hooked like class A
B) Us talking is a brilliant pass time
A) Im not sure wherever u bring down my day
B) I hate it when conversation runs dry

C) I think we should cut to the chase
D) Will my love for you ever go away?
C) Were perfect when near you i feel dazzed
D) If worse can get worse i'll be a stray

E) Is my love stronger than words?
F) This is the best i can explain
E) I feel pinned down im not free like birds
F) My emotions come down like torrential rain

G) I think its all a dream cause its not the best
G) A pinch on the arm might wake me up from this mess.

My evaluation, you have a long way to go. This would get a D max, also there is no iambic pentameter in the entire poem.

It's decent, but definitely won't bring your grade up.

It's not going to get you a great grade. Honestly though, for your first sonnet, it's not that bad.

The main thing, as Evilrip said, is the iambic pentameter, get that right and it's a big step towards a better sonnet Winky Winky
