Orphan Sonnet
Created by: Dale Gregory Cozart with a rhyme scheme of Abab cdcd efef aA in three quatrains and a couplet with the final line repeating the opening line. Written in IP.
A sunflower sun blooms high in the sky
sowing its seeds on cerulean waves.
And seagulls assault the air with their cry
as crabs dart in and out of flooded caves.
Their orange carapaces in stark contrast
they seek algae as the mud-flat expands.
And chase the tides, relentless and steadfast,
o’er brindled stones and alabaster sands.
As a moist mist coalesces offshore,
it swallows the sun; shadowing its light.
And its splendor can't be seen anymore,
till brisk breezes disperse this ghostly sight.
As the heat of its rays intensify,
a sunflower sun blooms high in the sky.
