SONNET IN RHYME AND PENTAMETER - UNTITLED

Acid green, unseen, sat brooding in the dark.
Distant scream, a bad dream, back to haunt me
On the bed, thing in my head, shows a mark
Of its presence for one and all to see

Face of a frog, breath of a deadly dog
Its ugly head bends down to force a kiss
Licking my face, falls flatly like a log
On the floor, and sheds its skin with a hiss

With power of an ox, roughness of a rock
It slithers in, eating my body raw
Not yet done it feeds like a hungry hawk
Its deed dead but will come again to gnaw

I lay low in bed, a wilting flower bud.
Next time,It will be chewing me like cud.

HEY THIS IS SOMETHING I WROTE LAST SEMESTER, FEEL FREE TO INTERPRET IT!

Love,

aditi

P.S : any suggestions for a title?

I still haven't quite understood how a pentameter works. Ever since I read To Autumn, have been trying to figure it out.

As for a title, still thinking about it.

In the meanwhile, something to chew on. I found this a few years back on some site and I cant recall where.

@ depressed doormat -

pentameter works on the basis of the number of syllables in a line pentameter has ten syllables, wanna to know more just leave me a scrap!
