Curtal Sonnet
A curtal Sonnet has eleven lines with a rhyme scheme of abc abc dcb dc
It has 10 syllables in lines 1 through 5 and 7 through 10, however
it has only two (2) syllables in lines 6 and 11 and they rhyme with lines 3,6, and 8.

I remember when I was three years old playing in a sandbox at the playground, and how much fun I had when it wasn't planed. I'd create wondrous castles to behold using a pail, and I'd sculpt the background by hand. Like stepping into a magical box, that sandbox appeared especially grand. A perfect place, for no one was around when my imagination played with rocks and sand.

Thanks Darlene, playing in the sand felt so good my friend, that I often stayed out late, till my mom would call me to come into the house, Emile.
