A Swannet Sonnet
A chapter in the book Little Poems
Turning Two
by Treischel
|
This is a picture of my grandson, Isaac, when he was two. He's 3 now, and still a handful.
This Poem is a Swannet Sonnet (or just Swannet)
The Swannet Sonnet whilst not the creation of the Canadian poet, Gloria Carpenter, it has become her trademark being used in conjunction with her elemental and avian photo studies in British Columbia.
It is a straight forward form comprised of 14 lines with 3 Quatrain stanzas of enveloping rhyme (abba) and a rhyming couplet. The key feature is the repeat of line 1 and 4 to also become the closing Couplet.
The rhyme scheme is:
(A1)bb(A2) cddc effe (A1)(A2),
where A1 is the first line of the first stanza, as well as the couplet, and A2 is the last line of the first stanza, and the last line of the poem.
The meter is not specified but is usualy tetrameter or pentameter.
This photograph was taken by my daughter, Aisha, on her cell phone.
