Tears from Earth

How can we live in this world of shame? (A)

Slowly killing the place we call home(B)

Sadly, we are to blame.(A)

the falling planet earth losing its tone.(B)



Why does no one see the shame?(A)

The Earth is not for our taking (C)

For saving the Earth is no game. (A)

Slowly Mother Earth's heart is breaking. (C)



Glaciers melt, oceans spread (D)

My home is losing power (E)

No more tears are to be shed. (D)

If we do not change our ways how is earth suppose to flower? (E)



Help start the new birth (F)

Give a hand and save planet Earth. (F)



Within my sonnet, I found my own style. Instead of using Shakespeare flow or Spencer style, I pretty much combined both to come up with Ryann's style. My rhyme is as followed, ABAB, ACAC, DEDE, FF. While writing this sonnet, I found this rhyme helped me explain the help needed from the people to save the earth. It flows and keeps with the traditional sonnet, but has my own mark. Writing this sonnet was fun and enjoyable for me to express how much the Earth is ignored.
