POEM STARTER
Write a Petrarchan Sonnet on the theme of Autumn.
A Petrarchan Sonnet has 14 lines; the first 8 must have a rhyme scheme ABBAABBA, the last 6 can have variable rhymes, but are normally split into 2 sets of 3 lines.
The Walking Autumn Leave
The simple bright of the Autumn light
Breaks the shadow of a man.
Reveals the freezing winter land
He has been dealing inside.
Never does but always might
Leave his mind and search a friend.
Always thinks the pain will end.
The lie he tells, the bait he bites.
Winter’s coming and he keeps waiting
For the the rain to fill his hole.
Begging the skies for Autumn to leave.
It was never about the weather.
Rain won’t wash a drying soul.
Its about the broken heart of the walking Autumn leave.
