Wrote this for my english class. Tell me where I messed up if I did because I have never written a sonnet. Thanks guys.
%%
Strolling through town, window shopping with gals,
Stumbling down she notices the leather.
Searching for that hand, eyes meet, and she hails
Up, she is pulled, manners she's seen never
`
Upon closer inspection, she sees grime.
Ruffled hair, dirty face, just a greaser.
He must be deviantly plotting crime
Her remarks egg him into leaving her.
`
The gals gossip and whisper about him.
They'd call him a sexual deviant.
He stays at home, awfully sad and grim.
The realization is immediate.
`
A kind of person cannot see past looks.
Especially when she's in heart and nooks.

You need to be a bit tighter with those rhyming words, some of them don't really rhyme. If you read it out to yourself it's easier to hear where it might be going wrong.
