Applying to College

<p>Sadly, I have nothing better to do than write a bad poem about the tragedies of waiting for these decisions... April 1st can't get here soon enough :)</p>

<p>Sonnet to a College Admissions Letter</p>

<p>I’m waiting for colleges to send me their mail
I stare out the window all day
Catalogues and bills only cause me to wail
“Oh where are my letters?” I say</p>

<p>I dream about envelopes writ with collegiate names
And talk ‘who’s going where’ with my friends
I’m done playing mind-sucking waiting games
I just want the torture to end!</p>

<p>They say senior year is the best of your life
But I’m not quite sure I agree
APs and gas money just add to the strife
That college has heaped upon me</p>

<p>So big gorgeous envelopes please get here fast
My desire for you is unsurpassed!</p>

<p>Sheed, I agree with you - Sundays are the worst. It seems all I do lately is check the mail.</p>

<p>NYU and Wagner</p>

<p>From my English lit class, that is an English sonnet, and a question is presented in the three quatrains and there is an answer in the couplet at the end. </p>

<p>Work on that iambic pentameter though (Haha. Of course I'm being facetious here. ;-) )</p>

12

<p>lol</p>

<p>ik... the meter is awful... it bothered me lol</p>

<p>yet the poem is more of a sonnet/lyric, which expresses a deep emotion.... artistic license lol</p>

<p>it's good to see someone knows their poetry terms :)</p>
