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.
Hush
Do you know what it feels like to be afraid?
Do not think too much.
Wanting loves touch;
With my fathers gleaming eyes, I prayed.
Then I wake up and count the sins I made.
I’m thinking too much…”brain, please, hush!”
Sometimes it is best to just focus on the gold rush.
But I know better.
Is this poetry or a dead letter?
