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.

Changing Colors

The wind starts blowing and the leaves turn red

The color of the anger you have towards me

Summer light pulls the green from every tree

Leaves start falling like the tears we shed


Light blue skies turn dark emitting dread

We no longer feel free

Happiness falters with the absence of the yellow bee

We’re only hanging on by a thread


But threads are used to weave beige sweaters

Warmth comes from an unlikely wink

Transparent blood cleanses the Earth


Memories are erased as we write new love letters

The cold flushes our cheeks with pink

These changing colors helped us rebirth
