Here are two examples Kate hope they help
Rainbow
From the very beginning, it has been.
With Noah and the flood, it first appeared.
A beautiful bow in the air was seen,
To make way for it, the sky was cleared.
Green, orange, blue, violet, and red,
But, my favorite colour is indigo.
The beauty of the bow blinds the blue sky.
Don't go, O Rainbow, stay here forever.
It streaks across the sky after a rain,
Beauty is in all the colours it has,
The rainbow is gaining wonderful fame.
There is great beauty in the sky today.
Ever since the great flood, it has been here,
Shall we see a beautiful bow this year?
Half Past Two
You had to leave, and I couldn't follow.
They say I have died inside, it may seem.
Nothing I can do will fill this hollow.
Then one night you come to me in a dream.
You said, "Sorry for leaving you this way,
I want to tell you how much I love you.
Now you must face this and stay strong, okay?"
I awoke confused, it was half past two.
Scared, I got up and went on with my day.
Went to work and was called in for a "talk".
My fears have come true, you have died they say.
You died in sleep, half past two read the clock.
I'm going to be strong, I will make it through.
I'll go through my life always loving you.

ohhhhhhhhh.......rite......
we have to write one about love......so for the first two verses is this ok?:
My love for you flows deep as mountain streams,
It's crystal water doth reflect your face;
This fragment it cherishes like a dream,
Through woods and fields the world may see your grace.
This stream of love may meet demanding snags,
That challenge all beliefs of love and truth;
But be not 'fraid of how the water drags (??),
(no idea bout last line....i have one...but it dun make ne sense)

ooh.......that's so beautiful Kate........i love it........the thread is great
here are another few sonnets on love........
Sonnet I
You fill my sense of sight with beauty, and
Your fleeting fragrance floods my heart. Your touch
Electrifies my flesh; your gentle hand
Awakens dreams, desires, and oh, so much,
Much more. The innocence I left behind,
The trembling child- a metamorphosed being
Dependent on your body, heart, and mind;
This is my destiny that I am seeing.
Oh, sever not my soul's tight bind to yours,
Lest my life's essence wither. Be my earth,
My fire, my wind, my water, blood that pours
Into my veins- my spirit's own rebirth!
And cradle me within your arms, until
The stars and heavens fade, 'til time stands still.
"When I look at you, I think of my love"
The one that shines with divine light.
You spread your wings like a white dove,
Flying ahead to sleeping sun at night.
You change yourself in millions of ways
And yet, you manage to stay the same.
I have known you for many sullen days,
When the happy sun was hiding from the rain.
This love to you was innocently clear,
I looked at you and saw my soul pure.
Last thing I saw was a big bright tear
When I told you I'm leaving for sure.
"I leave for best" - that's one of lies
I told you, looking in your eyes.
"When I look at you, I think of my love"
The one that shines with divine light.
You spread your wings like a white dove,
Flying ahead to sleeping sun at night.
You change yourself in millions of ways
And yet, you manage to stay the same.
I have known you for many sullen days,
When the happy sun was hiding from the rain.
This love to you was innocently clear,
I looked at you and saw my soul pure.
Last thing I saw was a big bright tear
When I told you I'm leaving for sure.
"I leave for best" - that's one of lies
I told you, looking in your eyes.
