Sonnet poetry The sonnet is a fourteen line lyric poem. Lyric means the poem expresses a person's emotions. It was developed in Italy in the Renaissance. The poet Petrarch used the form to write a famous series of poems about his love Laura. The Renaissance English poet Thomas Wyatt introduced the sonnet form into English.
Sonnet poems could be about anything you want them to be. Like any other type of poetry it could express how the persson feels inside. Its a way for people to express their feelings

Intertwined with mine eyes are hers and hope,
blanketed by sleep and earthly conflict.
Worn obtuse are the tools with which to cope.
War governs Earth, but patience doth restrict
indulgences; Selective moderations
merely flirt with sleep. Miles of blue in green
sing dirges and steer poor men's vacations
while better days resolute earth hath seen.
This middle-self mocks middle-Eastern scrums,
one struggle fueled with love, the other--hate...
and both acknowledge when the evening comes
eclipsing darkness we, as men, create.
Since distance and sleep jail her upturned lips,
to savor peace, I taste her smile in sips.
