Okay, I am stuck with this, but I am trying. Was born with eyes wide open To be prepared for the truth No one seemed to care or wanted to offend What had happened on the roof Time withholds memories in a box We crawl, then stand, and eventually walk As a rusty key enters an unforgiving lock Uttering words before learning to talk

Was born with eyes wide open
To be prepared for the truth
No one seemed to care or wanted to offend
What had happened on the roof

Time withholds memories in a box
We crawl, then stand, and eventually walk
As a rusty key enters an unforgiving lock
Uttering words before learning to talk

  Fia, you really need to study the lesson more thoroughly for a complete understanding.

    I am going to. By next week it should be better.

      I hope so … the topic is very interesting, if you can get it into proper Sonnet format. : )

      For examples, you might read and study some of my posted sonnets, applying what you’ve learned from the lesson to become a bit more familiar with the Sonnet format … you should have it down by next week’s session. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just show a basic understanding we can build on.
