we’re all here to answer all your stupid questions. So no worries.
you can write something on love. That would be the simplest thing to do.

write a sonnet about trying to be original for an assignment but failing to do so.
as far as construction: Elizabeth or Petrarch?

Or write how difficult it is to write a sonnet that is not just 14 lines of bubbling about something but it is a song too. Write a sonnet on how you asked people here to give you advice and at the end you decided to write about it in sonnet form.

Elizabethan then. try reading some Shakespere and getting some inspiration from the bard: also, one on the internet would be good. just remember, there is an ironic turn between the 3 quatrains and the couplet in a good sonnet.

I asked for help, I cried for help
but there was no one who could hear my voice
I have a sonnet to submit
but that’s a requirement and not my choice
I wonder what will I do if I get no help
for I am lost here and my eyes are moist
I wish I get a saviour from heaven
who comes and I may rejoice

:D

Anon, good, but not the right format: it’s helpful as a starting point.

That’s not a sonnet. It has to be 14 lines and each line has to have ten syllables. There are different rhyming patterns depending upon which type of sonnet you choose… better study some more.

true this, and one must alternate between stressed and unstressed syllables

Inspiration

I’m sitting here and don’t know what to do
There’s no ideas coming to my head.
I really am trying so hard it’s true,
But all that I can think is “Ugh, I’m dead.”
I wish I could be more original
But the truth is that I am simply not.
My creativity is marginal
I’ll probably sit here until I rot.
If I can’t think of something very fast
I know that I will be all out of time
Procrastination simply didn’t last
And left me in a state less than sublime.
Yet through the fog in all my desperation
I there suddenly find my inspiration.

i got a 95 on it lol :D
