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.
Confession
I keep my secret to my chest,
Not because I feel shame,
Although I do change my name.
I just think it’s for the best.
A mechanism of defense,
In case I fail when I try,
Only I will know the why,
Rid of any pretense.
This is why I write as Carrow,
Creations hidden like a sin,
This is why I do not flout,
Like an archer without an arrow.
This is why I keep it in,
Like an author full of doubt.
