I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.

You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.

You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.

You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

Isn't it so sad when you see an old friend and their whole personality and outlook on life has changed...and not for the good. Well that's what inspired me for this poem...I hope you enjoyed it

It makes a good poem, I admit. However, It isn't exactly a true sonnet.

Sonnets have 4 stanzas, the first 3 of which have 4 lines each, and the 4th of which has only 2 lines. it goes in the abab,cdcd, efef, gg rhyme sceme. AND each line is supposed to have 10 syllables.

I'm not saying it isn't good, just that it's not exactly a sonnet.

Please look at my poetry and story! Thanx! ;D
