A Spenserian Sonnet
A chapter in the book The Sonnet Collection
Ashes of Lost Hope
by Eternal Muse
Contest Winner
 Your correspondence thundered through my head, Gone suddenly, all that I thought was real. Still blinded by your sun, I whirled in red, Not knowing how to handle this ordeal. It wasn't passion that you have revealed? Was not I scorched by heat? Your verse was fire! Why was the truth so cleverly concealed? How aptly do you scribe without desire... My knight, where did you hide your silver lyre? The bells of love rang in my mind alone What legacy had I through fortune's ire? Love's ashes buried 'neath the graveyard stone. Oh unrequited love, so wide your breadth! And sharp the quill that pierced my very depth. |

Spenserian Sonnet is a variation of the Shakespearean Sonnet. A Spenserian Sonnet has three quatrains and a couplet but there is a twist where you employ linking rhymes between the quatrains (ABAB....BCBC....CDCD....EE), and must contain the iambic pentameter.
