Sumarr and Vetr... which is Old Norse for (blank) and (blank). Wait, what?
Background- This weekend I was forced to write a sonnet for an English class... after much trial and error, this is what I came up with. It's not bad, really, but I'm not quite sure that it actually fits the sonnet criteria... Ah, well.

His lips born of Dionysus’s vine
Do perch seductively upon cheekbones
Held stationary by winter’s froze’d wine,
His skin pulled taut with grotesque overtones.
Thyrsus laying dormant in the dark month,
Receiving the light dripped by the sun’s rays,
The elegance encases him with uneath,
By solstice his imprisoned tomb has frayed.
A warm breeze plays with tendrils of his hair,
Soft whisperings drifting through a lethe mind,
Those fingertips intertwine easily,
Teasing across a pale skin’s western wind.
The earth’s intoxicating scent lingers,
Welcoming Sumarr with open fingers.


Now that you're done reading it... The explanation: Sumarr is Old Norse for Summer, and Vetr is Old Norse for Winter. So, now I think you can guess what this sonnet's about.
