AN Alfred Dorn Sonnet
A chapter in the book Little Poems
The Heart in the City
by Treischel

This is Fourth Street in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. I wrote this ekphrastic poem that describes the scene as I observed it from a skywalk while my wife and I enjoyed a winter walk. I was drawn by the smoke, and was amazed to see the some of it formed a heart. That was real, not in any way doctored. So this will become part of my Animated Stills collection.
This poem is an Alfred Dorn Sonnet.
An Alfred Dorn Sonnet is named after its creator and is distinguished by two Sestets bridged by a Couplet. The first one is an Italian Sestet, having a rhyme scheme of: abcabc. The second one is a Sicilian Sestet, taking the scheme of: aeaeae. So the entire rhyme scheme becomes abcabc dd aeaeae. Note that the "a" rhyme is a linking rhyme between the 2 Sestets. Written in iambic pentameter. The turn (or volta) is at line 9, as in most Sonnets.
