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.

My Favorite drowsy Day

It seemed like it would last forever

This beautiful breeze

It would touch my bared face and knees

I wouldn’t leave, never

I couldn’t be torn from the rain

As it danced at my windows

The time that the grooms would marry the widows

They would never experience pain


I would walk and walk

And the town would talk and talk


I could hear the kids screaming at tricks

Running around in their costumes

hoping that they wouldn’t trip

Entering the houses with ghostly fume, what a beautiful day of doom
