Would this poem I wrote be considered a sonnet?

Well of course sonnets are poems, a very popular form in fact. Shakespeare is known to have written 154 of them, so you've hit the mother lode.

Yes, the sonnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in lyric poetry. (By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a POEM of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
