Verdant Poetry Contest

Round 2 is open. Write your nature poetry in a SONNET form.


Sonnet


A Sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines (iambic
pentameter) with a particular rhyming scheme:
Examples of a rhyming scheme:

#1) abab cdcd efef gg
#2) abba cddc effe gg
#3) abba abba cdcd cd

A Shakespearean (English) sonnet has three quatrains
and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg.

An Italian sonnet is composed of an octave, rhyming
abbaabba, and a sestet, rhyming cdecde or cdcdcd ,
or in some variant pattern, but with no closing
couplet.

Usually, English and Italian Sonnets have 10 syllables
per line, but Italian Sonnets can also have 11 syllables
per line.

French sonnets follow in this same pattern, but
normally have 12 syllables per line.
