Sonnet

A Sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines (iambic pentameter) with a particular rhyming scheme:

A Shakespearean (English) sonnet:

-- has three quatrains and a couplet, and rhymes abab cdcd efef gg. 

An Italian sonnet:

-- is composed of an octave (8 lines)  rhyming abbaabba

 --a a sestet, rhyming  cdecde or cdcdcd

This is a Shakespearean sonnet:

Learning to Write a Sonnet




The sonnet form is old and full of dust

And yet I want to learn to write one well.

To learn new forms and grow is quite a must,

But I will learn it quickly, I can tell.




And so I sit, today, with pen in hand,

Composing three new quatrains with a rhyme.

The rhythm flows like wind at my command.

The A-B-A-B form consumes my time.




But I’m not done until there’s fourteen lines.

One ending couplet, after three quatrains.

I’ve tried to write this new form several times.

The effort’s huge; I have to rack my brain.




But I persist, my fourteen lines now done.

I wrote my poem; my sonnet work is won.

Shape Poetry

-Shape Poetry is also associated with Concrete Poetry-

Shape is one of the main things that separate prose and poetry.  Poetry can take on many formats, 
but one of the most inventive forms is for the poem to take on the shape of its subject.  Therefore,
if the subject of your poem were of a flower, then the poem would be shaped like a flower. If it 
were of a fish, then the poem would take on the shape of a fish. ><<<*>

Shape and Concrete Poetry go hand-in-hand; however, Concrete or Visual Poetry don’t have to 
take on the particular shape of the poem’s subject, but rather the wording in the poem can enhance 
the effect of the words such as in this line:

an angel tumbling
d
  o
    w
      n  
         to earth . . .

Designing your own shape poem can be simple and fun, but try not to pick anything that would be 
too difficult.  We suggest mapping out or drawing your shape first, and then importing the text of 
your poem into your shape.

Example #1:

Birth of a Triangle

mama and papa and baby make three,
  reaching sides of a three-sided tree.
    oedipal winds rustle from leaves;
      triangular shapes converting
         dissimilarity into peeves.
           straight lines connect
             the corners turned; 
                mirrored sight
                  un-burned;
                    buried
                      am
                        i

Example #2:

Coffee

* Shape poem and an Acrostic poem!


          Coffee mild, but  dark  as  toast. 
     O..Oh healthy cup, of robust roast,
   F.....Fresh  the smell, of  perking pot,
   F.....Flavors   senses,   while  it`s  hot.
     E.......Everlasting,  in  every  way,
          E...Every  morning, every day.

Example #5:

A Simple Tree

                      and life began
                  from a simple tree
                  starting from roots
                they spread beneath
             the earth nourishing soil
                    growing bigger
                    its trunk widens
                    strengthening
                       it begins to
                          stand
                            on
                            its
                           own
and the roots keep reaching far beyond the ground...

Example #7:

Luna

You
   were my
      first dandelion
         wish, my cotton
           candy kiss, and sweet
            lullaby.  With you nested 
              in the palm of my hand, 
               we became one with the night, 
               ruling over the stars in the sky. 
               You have been my guiding light
                through sleepless nights, my 
               muse, and friend, always 
              lending a listening ear, and
            offering your soft, glowing 
          light to ease my fears.
       You are my warm,
    goodnight moon,
Luna.

There once was a man from Aruba,
