Hear me, My Captain!
Those words you spoke,
so elegantly fill my mind,
empowering my goals, my dreams, my life.
Hear me, My Captain!
You say never to give up.
You say the passion burns within,
And we need only stoke the flames.
Hear me, My Captain!
You say Onward, Forever!
You say time will pass us by,
And the pain will fall away.
Hear me, My Captain!
You tell me not to quell emotion!
You say declare the words inside you
And stand for your convictions.
Hear me, My Captain!
You say that yesterday was the lesson.
Today is the test and tomorrow
Is filled with the unknown,
Hear me, My Captain!
Your inspiration blazes in my life,
And your final lesson rings, to be –
“Better than I was yesterday!”

Understanding the Varied Styles of Poetry
Sonnet The sonnet, from the Italian sonetto meaning “little song,” is one of the better-known forms of poetry. Made famous by the Italian writer Petrarch, the traditional sonnet consists of fourteen lines divided into two stanzas of eight and six lines each. There is no definitive structure or rhyme scheme of the sonnet, because over time different writers have given it their own poetic spin.
