Topic = Fate always wins
Sonnet

Once there were lovers in a great small world,

Twas a pity was not destined to be;
Happiness and passion, they sang and twirled
And with each other, they were almost free

But to their dismay the war tore apart,

For the two were forced on opposite sides.
A new lover stole her unwilling heart,
Who in the war killed off the true brides

Man which facd pain when looking for love,

His fate sealed; he'd die an alone man
Whose widow now in dismay is void of
Any true feelings, thrown in the trash can.

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,

Proving that love is too much of a strife.
In this Shakespearean Sonnet, I attempt to convey the theme of fates play into the concept of
love. The poem is based off of Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, where the couple feels the

pain of fate breaking up their love, ultimately causing their deaths. In my Sonnet, the couple is
also destined to not be. They were broken up through a war, and the bride was forced to wed
someone else. Meanwhile, the brides true love was killed by who she is forced to love. The man
the bride is forced to love symbolizes fate in my sonnet. Fate can kill, break up couples, and
even cause wars to reach his or her ultimate goal. In this case, Fate showcased its cruelty by
forcing a woman to love him, and killing her true love. This proves my message that fate will
always win. In the poem, when the couple almost escapes the fate of loneliness and sadness,
fate wins and kills.
