Sonnet Sonnet

Folder: 
2008 Poetry



A new sonnet is born today,

created by the word.

Using sonnet for the scheme,

to make it sound supreme.



Running it down and up again,

is how it came about.

You’ll see it’s sleek I have no doubt,

Though it doesn’t syllablize to ten.



I think it flows like cream,

sounding like a dream.

A rhyme as yet unheard,

in a form that’s gone astray.



Then finished off in a way that’s standard,

showing that in someway I have pandered.

Author's Notes/Comments: 


Ok I've stretched it here and made up my own sonnet scheme. I took the word sonnet and used the letters for the rhyme scheme running the word frontwards and then backwards. S-O-N-N-E-T-T-E-N-N-O-S with no standard meter and then finishing with the standard iambic pentameter or A-B-C-C / D-E-E-D / C-C-B-A / F-F. So I've called it "Sonnet Sonnet". At least it's not as vain as a "Carcione Sonnet"......lol
