Sonnet debate

First off, I would like to apologize for the errors in my sonnet. I had previously written it up before posting it on here, and I just realized that I made typos. The 'and' in the last line was used as a continuation rather than a conjunction, separating words. The word 'and' in line fourteen was not used as a pause between that line and another. Therefore the and in the line starter, should be looked at differently. The same principle applies, to the 'so' that was used in your line three. Its is not being used as a sentence pause, therefore the 'so' is justified. As for the syllable errors: Line six: There was supposed to be an "It" before the is. "It is still hiding from my lack of want". Line ten: 'Finally was supposed to be 'Finely'. I mis-read my own horrible handwriting yet again. "Pride aside, I can finely see clearly" With that said, I would like to say my opponent did a fabulous job at guessing at the sonnet. For the most part, she was pretty close. Here is my Sonnet translation: I was recently forced into a training class called "the great life foundation" by some close friends of mine. I was really adamant about not going, thinking my life was already great. But they were persistent in having me take it, thus the first four lines of my sonnet. The next four lines, basically tell how I was slowly learning that it was I myself, who was un-open to the idea of change. I was slowly realizing that I needed the training more than anything, I was just too in-secure to admit it. The third set of four lines describe the greatness I have achieved, and seen through taking this amazing class, and how I finally learned what I had been missing out on life. The concluding two lines show how I am applying that which I have learned into my life. Now I will try to decipher TheLwerds amazing sonnet. (BTW line nine is 11 syllables) :) This poem shows me the writers usual 'would be' discomfort in appealing to a certain woman, slowly dissipating, as the writers love takes over mind, and let's the users 'eloquent words mask the traps depart'. The writer has apparently such strong emotions for her lover, that it cannot be contained, and they are certain that this love is true. The shards, I am assuming, represent the writers feelings, that are directed at the lover. The love is strong, but could never be seen at it's full potential, thus the perfume that cannot be seen. Nearing the end of this poem, the writer expresses guilt, at the un-needed aggression towards the other. The writer feels that they them self, are the weak one, for using such cruelties against one so fair and innocent. I am not entirely sure I got anywhere close to establishing the meaning to the poem, but it was quite interesting. I think of sonnets as mysteries that are fun to solve. I look forward to hearing this wonderful sonnet defined! I will now start my next sonnet. A dark room now filled with most sobbing tears Waits for a detonation to its fire The voting was known to come to cause fear For only three, would safety require Slowly, each one placed a most solemn vote Each on stared deep into the others eyes Proceeding to tell them their fateful dote Their beautiful faces said their good-byes Strength and love then did fill my heart for him Past the hurt came a deep realization The only way not to lose was to win My decision marked immunization Ones love for thyself shows unduly love And reaches all limits from the above.
