The Treasure

Jag har skrivit en sonett!  På engelska dessutom. Haha, det ni! Vi fick ca 50 minuter på oss på engelska C-lektionen att skriva en sonett på Shakespeares vis och sedan valde vi i grupper ut fem stycken som fick läsas upp för klassen och så tävlade vi. Min vann inte, men jag kom bland de fem utvalda. Tänkte att det kanske kunde vara kul läsning så här kommer den:

THE TREASURE

Search the world but you will find no treasure
No rainbow sky nor sinking ships of gold
What could ever live up to that measure
For the who has the whole world to behold?


Pretend that all you had was stick and stone
Tools of the earth to create something new
Would you make wine from blood or flesh from bone
Or maybe juice from the morningsun brew?


Minds are set up to continue the old
Never step up to begin a new start
Now is the time to be brave, to be bold
And release the deepest thoughts of our hearts


For the greatest treasure that we should know
Is not to look back, but forward as we go
