The sonnet is a form of poetry dating back to before Shakespeare. It is 14 lines long, arranged in quatrains with a final couplet, with ten syllables in each line, each line in iambic pentameter. The rhyming scheme is ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG.
A wolf howls lonesome in the dark of night
The eerie sound echoes across the sky
Lonely and cold; he lives without the light
He has no heart; his tears have all run dry
He is old and withered, yet carries on
To cry to his precious moon forever
As he runs constantly from dusk to dawn
And he keeps going, no matter the weather
I must admire his dedication
To the thing he loves and cares so much for
And think about it with fascination
To him, nothing else matters anymore
A creature who seems so very alone
Has more than I, someone to call his own.
