POEM STARTER

Write a Petrarchan Sonnet on the theme of Autumn.

A Petrarchan Sonnet has 14 lines; the first 8 must have a rhyme scheme ABBAABBA, the last 6 can have variable rhymes, but are normally split into 2 sets of 3 lines.

Brown

A dancing, free breeze

Escaped from the wind.

A leaf found pinned

Against autumn's orange glow,

Yearning to fly to and fro.

A young boy grinned.

The cool air thinned.

The beauty began to grow.


A brown winter coat

Covered in fallen leaves.

Brown like the color

Of his eyes’ deep seas—

The blanket the earth wears

As summer finally grieves.
