Day 1- (1st April)
Write a sonnet titled "The Start."
"Keep in mind the structure and the rhyme scheme of the sonnet. The iambic pentameter may or may not be followed."
***********
Life is like an open book; full of chapters,
Some starts with a name called fear,
Where nothing really remains to tear,
But it remains forever within us.
Some chapter starts with good moments;
Which we want to cherish till our last instant,
Some are full of bad memories,
But still they managed to stay in our heart.
Every chapter starts with something new;
But there always remain a doubt of hue,
With a journey of vicissitude few,
We are going ahead with the habit of
aptitude.
Therefore, never stop for anyone.
Just start over again at where you are.

My first official poem — thou' I didn't follow the iambic pentameter here, but tried to maintain quatrain.
. . .
A sonnet is a one-stanza, 14-line poem, written in iambic pentameter. Sonnets share these characteristics:
Fourteen lines: All sonnets have 14 lines, which can be broken down into four sections called quatrains.
A strict rhyme scheme: The rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet, for example, is ABAB / CDCD / EFEF / GG.
(Although italian sonnet is an eight-line stanza (octave) rhyming ABBAABBA, and a six-line stanza (sestet) rhyming CDCDCD or CDECDE.)
Written in iambic pentameter: Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter, a poetic meter with 10 beats per line made up of alternating unstressed and stressed syllables.
A sonnet can be broken into four sections called quatrains. The first three quatrains contain four lines each and use an alternating rhyme scheme. The final quatrain consists of just two lines, which both rhyme. Each quatrain should progress the poem as follows:
First quatrain: This should establish the subject of the sonnet. Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: ABAB
Second quatrain: This should develop the sonnet’s theme. Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: CDCD
Third quatrain: This should round off the sonnet’s theme. Number of lines: four; rhyme scheme: EFEF
Fourth quatrain: This should act as a conclusion to the sonnet. Number of lines: two; rhyme scheme: GG
