Icy Love

** Image ID #1636614 Unavailable **

Oh what pain and sorrow you bear.
In your eyes, wistfulness is clear.
Your story of loving a cad,
Is spoken by your pallid lips,
Which drank the love poison in sips.
About his fake love you were mad.

Your charming, sad eyes look for him
As with your wan, pink lips ; you prim.
You muse upon his treachery,
A love without warmth and feeling,
A fire without passion burning,
Of promises that turned awry.

Your dreamy eyes with grief shining,
Slowly fading like stars lovely.

Form: Jeffery's Sonnet

Form: Jeffery’s Sonnet
A Jeffrey’s Sonnet was created by Scott J. Alcorn. It is isosyllabic (only 8 syllable per line),
2 sestets with a cross rhymed couplet (the cross rhyme is in the 2nd to 4th syllable in each of the
two lines of the couplet). Also there is a cross rhyme in the first line of the 2nd sestet (between
the 2nd to 4th syllable), tying the 1st sestet to the 2nd. So the rhyme scheme would be: aabccb,
(b)ddeffe, (e)g (g)e. The letters in ( ) are the cross rhymes. (Cross rhymes are INTERNAL rhymes).
Hint: when writing this form, write the ending rhyme sounds that the lines are supposed to have down the margin of the paper or screen to keep track of where your rhymes are supposed to take place.
