Question: A Shakespearean sonnet written by myself!.!?
O’ who can say, that the day after next,
If my life, your life, or the world will exist,
What if it happened under false pretext!?
The angel of death lurks, dead in the mist!.

What would you do for the end of your life!?
If the end of the universe was nigh,
The choice is yours, wreak havoc and cause strife,
Or just wait for the end, your time to die!.

Be careful, for Armageddon is here,
True that it is, that death has appeared!.
But time it is not to cower and fear,
For the inevitable has reared!.

Death must come to all, the young and the old,
Your time has now come, so now leave this world

I love this poem!. I've read it over and over, each time seeing more!. Yes, Armageddon is here!. The poem has a couple of lines that are not true Iambic, but I don't want to take a chance of losing all I've written!.

The way to see if you have created the Iambic Pentameter of Shakespear is to divide your words by syllables, and mark which is the strongest part of the word!.t Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's a good first draft!. Remember that the most important part of writing poetry is the revision process!. Make sure your rhythm is sound (check line 7) and watch out for trite rhymes (nigh - die, here - fear)!. It is pretty good; it just needs a little more attention!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Love it!. Love it!. Love it!. The choice of words and the theme, thumbs up!
