Never mind. I figured it out. But now, can you tell me what you think? Also, can a mod move this to the museum? Sorry, I really shouldn't make threads when I'm tired.


Mary

Her presence was blue, like the calming skies.
The ribbons on her army garb were red,
Like her personality. And her eyes,
Brown with trust, and her purple voice that said.

She was just like the moon, when times were grave
and dark, when all hope was bleak and vanished.
She shone high, her light reached every cave.
It engulf’d your soul, the sad spirits banished.

She achieved so much, was the guru of
knowledge. Her stories couldn’t be match?d.
She wasn’t scare’d by her words, let loose like doves.
She was Miss, but now Mary’s to her latched.

She has battle scars, but she won’t go yet.
She’s alive, don’t kill her off, don’t forget.

I don't understand the words "engulf’d", "match?d", and "scare’d".

See, each line has to be 10 syllables. Many sonnet writers manipulate words a little bit to meat this quota. Putting on an accent adds a syllable, and making something 'd takes away a syllable.

What about match?d?
