Why So

As young children, we were happy
but as adults, most of us not.
why so? Cause ideas what's thought
as right, differs -none takes gladly.

Adult unhappiness derives
from rigidity as stuck in
own ways though always wish to win
often leads to failure in lives.

While our routine ways of thinking,
acting may be useful, bringing
comfort in our lives in some ways
but prevents from growing always;
may lead to despair, beginning
of stress with negative thinking.

Sonondilla or Sardine Sonnet
Quote :: “This is a form invented by Charles L. Weatherford.
In his own word Charles explains that he developed to form to
 play to his own particular strengths:

Creating the “sonondilla, I actually used two existing forms.
First was the Petrarchan sonnet; second was the redondilla,
a purely syllabic Spanish quatrain with envelope rhyme scheme (abba).

Based on this mixing, I came up with a fourteen lines form that
was syllabic, but was also tougher to rhyme than other sonnets.

So, the sonondilla’s predominant rhyme scheme is abbaabbaccddcc,
which is even more difficult than the Petrarchan sonnet."

Redondilla, a Spanish stanza form consisting of four
trochaic lines, usually of eight syllables each, with a rhyme
scheme of abba. Quatrains in this form with a rhyme scheme of
abab, sometimes also called redondillas, are more commonly
known as serventesios.
( Ref:: https://www.britannica.com/art/redondilla)

In the Sonondilla or Sardine Sonnet it should be written in octosyllabic lines.
Meter either iambic or trochaic
Rhyme scheme: Rhyme: abbacddceeffee or abbaabbaccddcc
Volta to appear at line 9.” Unquote
