Don't you dare laugh!!!

Odyssey to Glory

Defeated, I lie in a miserable state,
As I linger in silence left to wonder,
How to write a potential sonnet, which I hate,
Perhaps I should search somewhere yonder.

Troubled, I try to juxtapose words that rhyme,
Sadly, they do not form harmony.
Does thyme go with lime or dime, or even crime?
In the world of poets, this would be such blasphemy.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day,"
Such poetic grace.
Shakespeare I am nay.
For, lo and behold, escapeth me his pace.

Never will I encounter glory,
Alas, this is my story.
