This was a challenge laid down by my English Tutor at College.

A Challenge

To face this challenge and write a poem

In Iambic Pentameter alone

To stop my mind from straying and roaming

For some random sin I must atone

With Shakespear as my point of reference

And as a guide to what must be done

To bring out the very best of me

And my poetry writing skills I hone

It is not as easy as it looks here

Ten sylables on every line I write

To make it rhyme and make it interesting

Though I try hard with all of my poor might.
