I feel like I did 1, 4, and 5, no? The theme was not romantic but I was only trying to use the form.  I couldnt format it well in the text box. 

For writing a Shakespearean Sonnet?  Honestly nothing comes to mind.  I haven't had a chance to look anything like that up since highschool.  Here are the rules of one as I remember it though... 

- 14 lines
- iambic pentameter throughout
- some variation allowed through trochaic or spondaic substitution, but only to emphasize particular words of importance
- a volta somewhere around line 9 or 10
- rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GG
- generally on a theme of love or romance 

Thanks, executing those concepts is so hard for me. I guess i shouldnt call it a shakespearian sonnet considering that. Any guides you could recommend?

You may want to learn about [iambs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iamb_(poetry)) and [trochees](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochee), as well as other kinds of [metrical feet](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(prosody)).  A Shakespearean Sonnet is very particular about what sort of meter is allowed, and how much you're allowed to deviate from it within the form.  

Scoundrels, today, everyday we find

Ourselves labeled unproductive leaches

Estranged from kin, strangers to the kind

Embraces of virtue's warming reaches.


Left out and forced to travel unknown roads

Blindly gropes for familiar mooring 

Adrift and resentful he finds new modes.

His distance, the loner finds alluring.


Fallen but gathered like November's leaves

Face to face with the anguish of choice

To be or not, on lives what one believes

And creates each day through discord their voice.


Company alone is reason enough

To stop posing as decisive and tough.
