A Dirt Waterslide
Rivers dance through grass and shimmering trees
The plants shake back and forth like a man’s head
And despite the beauty everyone sees
I know that one day, the trout will be dead
Humans have thrown away beauty like trash
Pollution, urban runoff, killing fish
People only seem to care about cash
More bills in their wallet is all they wish
The river is now a dirt waterslide
It drains down the mountain, into the stream
The trash in it makes for a (rocky ride)
The death of this species is my worst dream
Don’t let people cloud up your mind with doubt
Do whatever you can to help save the trout
After this project, I know that sonnets are poems consisting of 14 lines with 10 syllables. They have specific rhyme schemes, and they follow iambic pentameter. My sonnet was about nature. I talked about rivers, grass, and trees.Then, I talked about them getting polluted. I am happy with the way my sonnet turned out.
