Villanelle!

Poems are very difficult to write
It is hard to think of things to put down
It is impossible to get it right

I'll stay up for hours even at night
Dawn or dusk or with a circus and clown
Poems are very difficult to write

For most people all they need is a light
For me, I need the help of the whole town
It is impossible to get it right

I will wait and wait until I have light
Then I will type without a single sound
Poems are very difficult to write

Now I will lie here with my great boy hound
For he is my friend I love with all might
It is impossible to get it right

So as the poem begins to see light
I will lay down, will not make a loud sound
Poems are very difficult to write
It is impossible to get it right

Sonnet

I love my basketball with all my might
It brings me joy and happiness
Even when I play basketball at night
I have a new one but won't like it less
I play basketball with my friends all day
We will stay outside for hours on end
Breakfast, lunch, dinner skip so we can play
When we play ball there is never an end
I never stop playing for simple chores
Whenever I play I feel like a pro
So why would I stop to just go indoors
I love basketball so much at my home
So in the end thats all I have to say
So play basketball and have a nice day
