Description I'm never likened to a summer's day.
My laugh is not that of babb'ling brook.
I am often as flighty as the Fae.
With a tongue one-too-many sweets has hooked.
Nor am I autumn, or winter, or spring.
I'm not timeless, my youth did not last long.
Delight to all I'm not likely to bring.
In society I do not belong.
I'd rather you not compare me at all.
I am who I am, you get what you see.
I can never become the perfect doll,
Everyone seems to expect me to be.
To be compared 'twould be best with the dead.
Soon I expect to be without my head.

Thank you. My teacher was like, "Sonnet have a turning point near the end." So there you go.

Sonnets suck.

"To be compared 'twould be best with the dead.
Soon I expect to be without my head." If this implies a beheading, that can be interpreted as a turning point, in which the head turns as it rolls on the ground or into a basket c:

He should know. When he explained the formula to create sonnets, he told us we needed to have a turning point for the last two lines, or in the second half of the poem.

Seems alright to me actually, don't put yourself down so much about it. I understand it's incredibly difficult to get literature noticed on deviantART by experience, though.

Thank you.

It's definitely more difficult to have someone read something because that requires thought and time, most of which people don't want to invest. But I'm fine with it. Having it out there for the occasional comment is fine by me (I'll rub it in all their faces later when I become a famous author, hah!).^^
