Greetings, friends

Here is a well-written sample of a sonnet, written by a young druid. I am posting it to help all see an example of a sonnet.

With autumn hued fur and with eyes of pearl,
From the small nose to the bushy tail curl,
Way up in the trees one is sure to see,
The grace of nature exists in a squirrel.
Inside a hollow home wither it be,
When nested in the comfort of a tree,
With fruits and nuts stored for the winter year,
Each squirrel can take care of its family.
The young ones try hard not to shed a tear,
When days so snowy come from days once clear.
They snuggle up for warmth with squirrels mature,
And wait out till the spring they hold so dear.
- Within the forest and with high stature,
- The squirrel shows the very best of nature.

Notice the 10 syllables, the correct rhyme scheme, as well as proper format. Please, be part of this event, and get your poems to Strife now.

May evil guide you on your path towards greatness.

Penned by my hand on the 9th of Glacian, in the year 232 AF.
