The library that runs an open mic that I go to monthly challenged us to write a sonnet and put music to it. I was the only one who put music to their sonnet and I won the challenge and this is the sonnet that I wrote. I tried to follow the rules to writing a sonnet the best I could.
Sonnet of the Good Gard'ner by Tammy Jann © 2016
A gard'ner knows a flower from a weed who plants his heart and gathers what he's grown grows ev'ry color in the grass so green the beauty there is where he calls his home
rises with the sun and toils in the rain out in the elements 'till the day's done working hard sowing, digging every day feeds his soul in the garden that he loves
But the winds can change and clouds darken the sky his light is gone, and dreams slip through his hands poisoned land suffers flowers slowly die return, the earth awaits your love again
Please Come back, hope will grow with just one seed Good gard'ner plant the flowers your heart needs

If I remember correctly, a sonnet has 14 lines. I can see why you won.
