Original Sonnet (1) - Death
I felt very still and very empty.
An emptiness that I could not full fill,
with just the faded and the unclear memory.
The way the eye of a tornado feels.
Why did you have to die with not a scar?
I felt lonely like a deserted ship
I felt as sad as a sea with no sun.
I think that this is an undeserved trip.
Just right before your journey came
You were the one I would have died to save.
You weren't a person with just greed and fame
You were my uncle, brave'nd didn't misbehave
And this is what, just makes me think,
You can go dead within a blink.
An emptiness that I could not full fill,
with just the faded and the unclear memory.
The way the eye of a tornado feels.
Why did you have to die with not a scar?
I felt lonely like a deserted ship
I felt as sad as a sea with no sun.
I think that this is an undeserved trip.
Just right before your journey came
You were the one I would have died to save.
You weren't a person with just greed and fame
You were my uncle, brave'nd didn't misbehave
And this is what, just makes me think,
You can go dead within a blink.

My Intention When Writing The Poem
The poem above is a sonnet. It has a rhyme scheme of ABABCDCDEFEFGG. The poem is all written in Iambic Pentameter with the exception of 4 lines which are one syllable off. In the first quatrain, I am describing my feelings, and how I felt. In the second quatrain, I am saying why I think that he should not have died. I wrote:"Why did you have to die without a scar?" meaning that I think that he died way too young for his age, comparing that to not having a scar... I then used two similes to help describe my feelings and finally, I compared death to a trip, and said that he did not deserve it. In the third quatrain, I am describing or talking about how I felt before he died. Finally, in the concluding couplet, I say that death can be unexpected and very quick, live life to the fullest, which is a brief summary of the poem.
