Challenge of the Week LXXIV
This week, we tackle a poetic classic, the sonnet. Your sonnet can be Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or if you're particularly brave, you can try your hand at some other avant-garde variation. We recommend you read a few sonnets before attempting your own. We'll be looking for sophistication, originality, and beauty.
The Science Of Emotion
Emotions are a science yet explained
In the terms of human comprehension.
Paltry understanding can be attained
By logical minds that pay attention.
The energy of emotions can’t be
Created or destroyed, ever present
But changing form; swirling chaotically
Within us, waiting to be somehow spent.
Emotion lies in every soul, waiting
For the catalyst of passion to cause
A reaction, chemistry creating
everlasting and insoluble bonds.
Yet, many times these bonds evaporate
With no physical science to equate.
