Look Into Self

(Sonnetina Rispetto) You must return to the very start Just look into your mind and heart And so you can be born again Heed my words for I do not lie To be born again old must die Free from all the pain and the sin You must return to the very start Just look into your mind and heart For,if I may be really bold The new is born out of the old And so you can be born again Free from all the pain and the sin You must return to the very start Just look into your mind and heart Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2009 September 19,2009 ~Author's note: The Sonnetina Rispetto is a new poetry form created by Dorian Petersen Potter on September 8,2009.

I think this is quite a new form. I have written one rispetto with the Italian style with two quatrains. Will you please give more details about this form.
