Well, let’s be meta for a second, here.
This class, I’ve found myself struggling with poems,
so now, I possess a good deal of fear,
I’ve found it preferable to go home.
However, that’s simply just copping out,
and I know well: that’s no way to progress!
If I turn my head at that which I’m fraught, I won’t advance; I’ll regress… and forget.
To this thinking, I give a big “*******”,
in the great name of creativity.
I’m nearly done with this; isn’t that cool?
I’m overcoming this adversity!
See, that wasn’t so bad, was it, now, man?
You thought you couldn’t write sonnets; you can!

This was written during an English class for creative writing after we were given a prompt to write a sonnet. I was at first daunted by the task of writing a sonnet to begin with, much less the added optional challenges my professor gave: making it rhyme and some other option I can’t remember. So, I decided I’d use that to my advantage and write the sonnet about that. Instantly. Then, I saw the rhymes easily, and I finished early. It was frustrating at first, then fun; overall, it was challenging and gratifying!
