Promptly Poetry Challenge (2023-2024)

I've added a new entry to my book, "Weekly Poetry Challenge four" :
         "Governor Killing Her Puppy Dog Petrarchan Poem " 


Killing a Dog Petrarchan Writing Com


The governor killing her puppy dog
The news is so shocking
It got everybody talking
She announced on a blog
Saying she killed her hunting dog
While out hunting and walking
And stalking pheasants
Her puppy acting like a coydog.

Her actions were so evil,
That even President Trump denounced it
Her actions caused a political upheavel.
No one would vote to acquit.
She was seen as so medieval.
And denounced as a dog-hating hypocrite.
In the court of public opinion no reprieval.


Poetry Form: Petrarchan

The Petrarchan sonnet, perfected by the Italian poet Petrarch,
divides the 14 lines into two sections:
an eight-line stanza (octave) rhyming ABBAABBA,
and a six-line stanza (sestet) rhyming CDCDCD or CDECDE.
