My first sonnet (Soneto 283)

I'm writing this like that to have a chance

to say in Shakespeare's language, if I'm able,

a sonnet, like he did, with elegance:
I promise I'm not going to tell a fable.

I really know my grammar's not okay,

and my vocabulary is poor and short,

but if I make an effort that's the way

to finish any thing and not abort.

I want to give my friends a great smile;
I hope for them to like it just a lot;
I trust you enjoy my phrases for a while
before I put on them the full stop.

And we've already got to the ending line:
I think my first attempt is very fine.
