An English sonnet with structured meter Is the direction for this sunny day Sadly, I can’t write a centimeter Of profound sentiment these words won’t say. Trying to write feelings wont to express, Action words leap and bounce upon my paper. Writing through the night till dawn breaks moonless, Until the poem fast becomes a caper. I’ll pen my verses with creative care; From the start, I vow this sad grey saga Will tell a story that will end somewhere Or as fate destined, fade like the quagga. A story poem quite fits this sonnet If I add nine voices, 'tis a nonet! ____________________________________________ Entry: April 23, 2017 Prompt: A sonnet For: Dew Drop Inn Poetry Workshop Form: An English sonnet is 14 lines; has 3 quatrains and an ending couplet with a pivot.The couplet plays a pivotal role, usually arriving in the form of a conclusion, amplification, or even refutation of the previous three stanzas, often creating an epiphanic quality to the end.
