Petrarchan Sonnet - By the Rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I write all my poetry by the rules!
All verse have rules, for some sort of reason?
Although bending them will not be treason!
Even so, some poets act, well, like fools,
being sucked down by large, waiting, whirpools'.
Let there be no doubt at all, use paeon,
pentameter of a Greek creation.
Indeed poets have literary tools.
Whatever the case, my words, me, exposed.
Emotions, often guided by my muse.
Indeed with her help, my words are composed,
our bond surely out of our thoughts arose.
All similar, thoughts, we did not confuse.
Inspired by nature now, my muse, deposed!
