S is for Sonnet

I’m longing for a warm weather next week

Birds and butterflies with lovely feathers

Not with snow and the weather so bleak

Wearing sweatshirt and all types of measures

Got enough of snow, give me hope or bluff

I feel terrible, I want to go out

Jostle my way to the crowds, I am tough

Ply and face the music in every route

The sun will come out eventually

And I could walk or cycle to the park

Having ice-cream that is so heavenly

Meet friends until the evening sky is dark

And so I am longing to see the sun

Winter is over and I should have fun*

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.
