styles and types but they all mean something. The theme I have decided to write about is the theme "only fools fall in love" from the book The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Clouds Go Away - Sonnet Why is the sky so grey? The clouds are hurt toddlers‚ so sad. They cry like they are teenage girls having a bad day. They rumble like the sun betrayed them and left them mad.

I hate rainy days‚ clouds why do you weep? Boom! Rumble… your thunder brings me no joy. Keep it down! I am trying to sleep

let him go I know I should probably hate you for hurting him and taking him to some dark places in his life‚ but I don’t.

I hope that the teachers have
