Yes, I admit it- I'm a hopeless romantic.

I've decided to explore the form of Shakespearean sonnets. Little did I know what a difficult and time consuming task it is to write one of these things, and I spent many an hour beating my head against the wall (figuritively!) working with it.
These are the products of my brainstorms thus far, all dealing with the most hopelessly romantic flower of all, the rose.

Yes, okay, duh, they're not all Shakespearean sonnets. But that's okay, at least I said what I wanted to say, and that's the point of the whole thing, right?
