Kim Rodrigues Poet Italian Sonnet

Seasons Sonnet

THIS Italian Sonnet does NOT have a regular meter,
has 10 syllables and a rhyming pattern of 
abbaabba, cdecde

SEASONS SONNET

One year old today, pink frosted candle.
Year later, ecstatic, open presents.
At three, twirling dress, snapshot pose frequent.
Five years old, sweet toothless grin a scandal.
Sixteen, the sherbert punch, broad smiles handle.
Twenty-eight, sophic change - adult ascent.
Scowling at forty; fabulous event.
Sixty, blows out big bang roman candle.

Early blades of grass tickle baby feet.
Hopping white bunnies in carrot garden.
Damask leaves nudge the storm of Autumn’s grace.
Mannahlike snowflakes beg a turnover greet.
Seasons divine, but in time, the day’s done.
Shimm’ring eternal light, dawn’s glory-face.

Your poetry is uniquely inspiring. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Kim Rodrigues October 9, 2020 at 5:53 PM Thank you, Susan! I appreciate that. Takes courage for me to write an Italian Sonnet. I wanted to keep it loose with no particular meter.
