Description
The Wolf Howls for the MoonBy: Holly Ann Young
(Queen-Grumpy-Stumpy / รlรฎan / WizzrobeQueen / Peaches the Wizzrobe Lover)
Howling and growling the wolf did this night.
The other animals listened to him
And found him in an unusual plight.
He gazed at the full moon, who's never dim.
"I love you, Moon! I love you!" howled the loup.
The other animals laughed scornfully,
"The moon could never love a wretch like you!"
The wolf ignored them and gazed hopefully.
He basked in her gorgeous light with a sigh.
He then howled more words of love to the moon.
"Oh," thought he, "Oh, how I wish she were nigh!"
He then howled to her his desperate boon.
"Please, come down to me, my beloved queen!"
But she could never join him, only sheen.

The Trickiest part of a sonnet is the beat. In addition to the rhyme scheme you used for this poem, Sonnets are written in iambic pentameter.
What that means is each line is 10 syllables long and the emphasis put in each syllable goes in the pattern of
low-High, low-High, low-High, low-High.
This is what makes the sonnet so singsongy.
It's actually easy to get the hang of once you notice it. in fact this line...
"I love you, Moon! I love you!" howl'd the loup.
...is written in Iambic Pentameter.
When every line is written in this form, it will practically role of the tongue on it's own.
