The Sonnet
This structure is a fourteen line piece
with a specific rhyming pattern and meter.
The rule is to keep to a set of alternate
and/or iambic pentameter variations.
A good example of this is breaking up the stanza into an 8 - 6 verse style,
and then forming a structure as a songwriter would with a basic AABA method , i.e. Verse Verse Chorus Verse.
Using this principle the sonnet may follow a rhyming pattern such as ABBAABBA for the first 8 lines and then CDECDE and GG which permits the 14 line sonnet to be broken into 3 groups of 4 and 1 final group of 2 rhyming lines to finish.
Always In Waiting
By Paul McCann
I could tell you of a morning
when the dark night has passed by,
my love everything will be all right
there is no need to fear.
I would tell you everything
if only you could be near.
There is a place that awaits us,
beyond space, after we die .
Let me take you in my arms,
let my love give you wings to fly .
I know how confused things are
but someday it will all be clear .
Don't fill your head with silly notions,
true love is alway here.
I could sing you love songs,
recite poems but then you might cry .
I could talk about what the future holds
for you and for me .
We could open a book
and discover how it all begun .
I could tell you how the cross was carried
up to Calvary .
I could tell you of the Father,
I could tell you of the Son .
I could tell you of the Spirit,
third part of the Trinity ,
there are so many things to say
but I'll wait until you come .
