The first time
the sunlight casts a glow through the shadow of the leaves dancing on the pavement like the break of water on the sea

Your Ignorance. Content Warning.
Introduction I do find challenges like this a little annoying, because they are likely to be filled with profanity-laden lines that will be given Top Stories and Challenge wins, but I will avoid them like the plague. I am fine with profanity in the right place, so I suppose the Wayne County song is perfect for this sonnet because it is full of the "F" word, so that is where all the swearing is in this.

The Silence Beneath Her Smile
In the heart of a quiet little town, Lived a girl who never wore a frown. Her eyes sparkled like summer skies, But no one knew they masked her cries.

I Don't Wanna Be Nice. Content Warning.
Introduction Armed with "Ten Years In An Open Necked Shirt", I have stolen lines from the poems of John Cooper Clarke to weave this masterpiece. The platform has made it clear that I cannot write poetry (in their misinformed opinion), so I am taking the words of a real, recognised poet, The Bard Of Salford.
