Adulting
I do not think that I am quite mature--
My schoolwork is enough to prove my claim.
I do my best--now that I know for sure.
But sometimes things continue just the same.
I do just fine but I'm still so stressed out.
I schedule naps to maximize my time.
Degrees are worth my lack of sleep, no doubt!
But at this point, just dropping out sounds prime.
And I won't even start on being broke-
At least this month I easily made rent.
It seems my money just goes up in smoke-
But maybe groceries is where it went?
And in the end I see no single win
So I'll call Mom and ask to move back in.
Haha I agree with your sonnet! Maybe besides the moving back in with mom idea. What was your process in choosing your topic? I thought that it was well executed. I think adding spaces where there are natural breaks in the rhyme or in the subject would help it make more logical sense as you read through it. Did you reference any other sonnets as a way to write this?

ReplyDeletehahaha, that is beautiful! You nailed it - title, meter, rhyme, and especially subject matter!! Loved it :)
ReplyDeleteHaha so true and funny! The volta is really well done when you turn aside your hamlet debate for deliberate action! All the lines feel very natural, even in the meter, except "but maybe groceries is where it went?" feels a little forced. Adulting is a great title!
