Here's something to do if you like to write stories or poems
it's called a 'Sonnet', it's something that has been alive since Shakespeare's time.
A sonnet is like a poem that has a rhythm to it, the rhythm is like a heart beat rhythm (dee dum dee dum) 

A sonnet goes to something called an iambic pentameter, this means that there a 5 stressed syllables and 5 unstressed syllables. (dee dum dee dum dee dum dee dum dee dum)


Shakespeare usually wrote sonnets about love or nature.
I've created my own sonnet to give you guys an idea of a sonnet.



Theme is: Nature

The breeze wisps up against my cheekThe trees leaves rustle in the windwhen the blue birds fly high up above it is not bleakAnd the balance of nature boggles my mindThe animals are creeping and crawling everywhereThe flowers in the meadows smell so sweetwhen I breathe in the aroma It feels like Im up in the airWhen Im amongst the valleys it sure is a treatThe wind whistles to me and tells me secretsThe clouds comfort me when I am asleepAnd we sing together and perform a duetThe view is so beautiful it makes me weepBut all good things must come to an end I always remember that nature is my friend
