I (M2H [owner]) will post sonnet's from famous people.

This sonnets are critism.And Other

From Certain Notes of Instruction by George Gascoigne (1575)
Then have you Sonnets: some think that all Poems (being short) may he called Sonnets, as indeed it is a diminutive word derived of Sonare, but yet I can best allow to call those Sonnets which are of fourteen lines, every line containing ten syllables. The first twelve do rhyme in staves of four lines by cross meter, and the last two rhyming together do conclude the whole. There are Dizaines, and Sixaines, which are of ten lines, and of six lines, commonly used by the French, which some English writers do also term by the name of Sonnets.

From An Apology for Poetry by Sir Philip Sidney (1583)

Other sorts of Poetry almost have we none, but that lyrical kind of Songs and Sonnets: which, Lord, if he gave us so good minds, how well it might be employed, and with how heavenly fruit, both private and public, in singing the praises of the immortal beauty, the immortal goodness of that God who giveth us hands to write and wits to conceive; of which we might well want words, but never matter; of which we could turn our eyes to nothing, but we should ever have new budding occasions. But truly many of such writings as come under the banner of unresistible love, if I were a Mistress, would never persuade me they were in love; so coldly they apply fiery speeches, as men that had rather read lovers' writings, and so caught up certain swelling phrases, which hang together like a man which once told me the wind was at Northwest, and by South, because he would be sure to name winds enough, than that in truth they feel those passions, which easily (as I think) may be bewrayed by that same forcibleness, or Energia (as the Greeks call it), of the writer. But let this be a sufficient though short note, that we miss the right use of the material point of Poesy.

From A Short Treatise on Verse by King James VI of Scotland (1584)
For compendious praising of any books, or the authors thereof or any arguments of other histories, where sundry sentences and change of purpose are required, use Sonnet verse, of fourteen lines, and ten feet in every line. The example whereof I need not to show you, in respect I have set down two in the beginning of this treatise.

Sawaoo:Third Eye, Farewell song.

In the tune of a farewell song
Fading footsteps and rain
To keep my tears from falling
I'm building a dam for my sorrows

A love ripped to pieces, fluttering inside-out
It's easy to see, looking back now
The darkness of the night makes me remember
That painful time, your voice
I remember, yes

Stepping over the wilted flower
Fading footsteps and a dream come true
Alone, I look out as far as I can see
Waiting for the wind to change

A love ripped to pieces, fluttering inside-out
It's easy to see, looking back now
The darkness of the night makes me remember
That painful time, your voice
I remember, yes

From The Art of English Poesy by George Puttenham (1589)
Henry Earl of Surrey and Sir Thomas Wyatt, between whom I find very little difference, I repute them (as before) for the two chief lanterns of light to all others that have since employed their pens upon English Poesy: their conceits were lofty, their styles stately, their conveyances cleanly, their terms proper, their meter sweet and well proportioned, in all imitating very naturally and studiously their Master Francis Petrarch.
