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.

Slowly But Not So Surely

It is simple in theory

To refrain from immorality

Renew my mentality

Yet practically weary

I deflect by query

Practicing comfortability

Seeking a technicality

What are you doing Harry?


The battle has been won,

By pain, by suffering, by love.

Yet you demand the strife

Remember what’s been done,

Let Him descend like a dove,

And put on this New Life
