Build a Shakespearean Sonnet from a Single Emotion
You have a feeling and a vague urge to write a sonnet about it. This takes a single emotion and builds a fourteen-line Shakespearean sonnet to spec: the ABAB rhyme scheme, iambic pentameter, three quatrains that work the theme from different angles, and a closing couplet that actually turns. Good for poets, students learning the form, and anyone who wants the rules followed rather than gestured at.
Write a Shakespearean sonnet (14 lines, ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme, iambic pentameter) exploring the emotion of {EMOTION}. Follow this structure strictly: three quatrains that develop the theme from different angles, and a closing couplet that delivers a turn or resolution. In the first quatrain, establish the emotional state and its context. In the second, complicate or deepen it with a contrasting image or idea. In the third, push toward crisis or climax. The couplet must surprise or reframe everything that came before. Avoid clichés. Use concrete imagery drawn from {SETTING_OR_WORLD} to ground abstract feeling in physical detail. Aim for natural-sounding speech within the metrical constraints: stress patterns should feel organic, not forced. ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
