I rewrote Justin Bieber's song "Baby" as a Sonnet:

Thy love for me wert unbeknownst to none,
How thou didst light a flame within my heart!
But call me hither and thy will be done,
That warmth within us never would depart.
Though fickle be thy love, alas not mine;
For though my heart belongs to thee alone,
To bed another be thy soul's design.
And 'tis for thee my weary heart doth moan;
The heated flame within my breast doth die,
For first love's icy end hath killed
My spirit, which of late knows only sighs
With grief and endless sorrows it be filled.
And I'm like baby, baby, baby no,
Now I'm all gone like baby, baby oh.

The original lyrics:

You know you love me, I know you care,
you shout whenever and I'll be there.
You want my love, you want my heart
and we will never ever ever be apart.
Are we an item? girl quit playing,
we're just friends, what are you saying.
Said there's another, look right in my eyes,
my first love broke my heart for the first time.
And I was like...

Baby, baby, baby oooooh,
like baby, baby, baby noooooooo,
like baby, baby, baby, ooooh.
Thought you'd always be mine, mine (repeat)

Oh, for you I would have done whatever,
and I just can't believe we aint together
and I wanna play it cool but i'm losing you
I buy you anything, I buy you any ring,
and im in pieces baby fix me and you shake me til' you wake me from this bad dream.
I'm going down down down down
and I just can't believe my first love won't be around.
And I'm like...

[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby oooooh,
like baby, baby, baby noooooooo,
like baby, baby, baby, ooooh.
Thought you'd always be mine, mine (repeat) etc.

  • How postmodern of you... I thought you were "against" that kind of thing? =-P

  • @insidetrip101 I secretly love it.

  • Your sonnets are the CliffsNotes that Shakespeare's ghost can use in order to translate pop songs into a language that he can understand

  • please do some existentialism! They call it pretentious but such accusations wreak of projection! 

  • @JiubLink JiubLink? The same JiubLink that both defended Hyrule and banished the cliff racers from Vvardenfell???

    Yeah, I'll probably get around to that sooner or later.

  • @practicalmagic9 Yes, think how clever the world would be if more people would take the time to sit in front of bookshelves and busts of dead people.

    Yes, I used the word 'calling' in the vernacular.
