Oh Juliet, my love, thou art so fair;
by far the finest beauty I have seen.
I love to run my fingers through your hair,
enchanted by its lustre and its sheen.
Your lips, a source of infinite delight,
assuage my thirst and bring my soul to life.
I gaze on you and all the world feels right;
to lose your love would cut me like a knife.
Yet, Carmen is a lovely woman too;
a passionate and playful little minx.
I'd love to introduce my friend to you;
you'd get on like a house on fire, methinks.
We'd wine and dine, and ere the night is done
indulge ourselves in stirring up some fun.

Oh Romeo, my sweetest, dearest love;
you are so doting, thoughtful, sweet and kind.
Your company's a gift from up above;
without you, I am sure I'd lose my mind.
Your strength and charm are clearly without bounds;
those muscled arms have kept me safe and warm.
With you, I fear not even hellish hounds,
for you're my steadfast shelter from the storm.
Now Carmen is indeed a lovely fox;
I met her at the market yesterday.
Your lechery's unlocked Pandora's box,
and so, my dear, I asked her home to play.
My darling, it is time you got a clue--
there's no room in our little bed for you.

| Writing Prompt |
Please write TWO Traditional English sonnets, but both on the SAME subject. One sonnet should be written from one person's perspective, and the other sonnet from the other person's perspective. In other words, when one partner has had their say, the other partner RESPONDS.
Each sonnet must consist of fourteen lines, split into three four-lined quatrains (verses), plus a separate two-lined couplet to finish. There is plenty of sonnet writing advice available on the internet for those not familiar with the form.
A 'turn' in the 9th line, or in the couplet, is recommended though not necessary.
Rhyme scheme required in each sonnet is: ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG.
Must be written with TEN syllables in each line (no 'silent feminine' endings), and in iambic pentameter with a syllable emphasis in each line of:
[da-DUM-da-DUM-da-DUM-da-DUM-da-DUM] - the 'das' being un-emphasised, and the 'DUMS' being EMPHASISED.
No artwork or sound effects allowed.
No author notes whatsoever allowed.
'description' above title must read, 'Double sonnet contest entry', and nothing else.
Use basic fanstory editor only.
