Doesn't get much better than that. I took this picture last Sunday morning at Lake Carlos State Park in Minnesota, my Folger's Classic Roast well brewed, and serenaded by Loons.
This Poem is a Septillian Sonnet.
The Septillian Sonnet was created by fellow Fanstorian, Nancy E. Davis. It is an elongated version of the basic Sonnet format, having 17 lines versus the typical 14 lines. Nevertheless, it carries all the features and recognizable structures of a standard Sonnet, with: three stanzas followed by a closing couplet, iambic pentameter, and a Volta (but at line 11, rather than 9). The elongation is due to using Quintains (5 line stanzas) instead of Quatrains. The rhyme scheme is set at a strict aabbb scheme. The name is derived from the 17 lines Sept being 7 in French, and tillian being a play on "teen"). The total rhyme scheme is therefore:
aabbb ccddd eefff gg.
