B's Sonnet

[pine palm]

Oh, how we met those few, few weeks ago

And I never knew your name; you hid it

But when I first read it upon my screen

My calm beating heart skipped over itself,

A fluttering sensation sparked within.

I never guessed how beautiful it was

To know whom you really are in life.

Your digital disguise lasted so long

And now our friendship has grown much closer.

I do wish I could tell you the truth, B.

(NOTE: I know this is not correctly formatted because the very last line is only 9 syllables, but I wanted to cover my friends name for privacy reasons, but the unhidden one is accurate!)

I like in the second line the use of the semicolon followed by “you hid it”. It aligns very nicely with how I use dashes in my poems so that stuck out. Also the feeling of seeing a name on your screen and it instantly gives you butterflies- it’s universal and a great addition.
Are you wanting a more traditional sonnet? Normally those include rhyme schemes and have 14 lines. I do like the last line having 9 for the purpose you gave- that’s epic. Updating the second to last line you could say like “oh how close our friendship has grown to be” to make a rhyming couplet and still keep 10syllables
