The sun and moon occupy the same sky
One governs the day, the other the night
Yet sometimes a strange sight will catch my eye
When the sun shines dimmer, or the moon bright
On some days its just before the sun sets
And other days shortly after the dawn
A celestial affair they beget
The moon betraying the night for the sun
But perhaps you and I share the same plight
Shouldn't be together, but sometimes are
For I am like the daytime to your night
And you like the moon, come to see your star
     For not even heaven can separate
     Two lovers determined to go against fate

A sonnet I wrote for (obviously) my English class. I was considering an alternate title but chose this one because it reminds me of a poem I read once called "Poem for English B" that I rather enjoyed. And I'm sure anyone who has ever stopped to look at the moon while the sun is still out can see something poetic in it.

Edit: I decided that I would change the title. Sonnet for English B was too unoriginal for my taste anyway.

I went mad, of course. But I got bored with that after a while, and went sane.

Indeed, there is something odd about seeing the moon by day. :) Well captured.

The punctuation and grammar needs a little work but this isn't bad at all. It sounded weirdly familiar to me at first but maybe I read the same poem you did or something. I particularly like the line "The moon betraying the night for the sun". Nice :)

Well I typically don't use punctuation when I right unless I think it's really necessary or changes the way the poem would be read aloud. Still, thanks for the advice all the same. I'll think about it.
